Rossipoo, you're showing progress. I love the face of the lady in the sexy black dress with the velvet gloves that come almost up to her shoulders. See, you didn't even have to render all that detail and I pretty much have an image of what she's wearing.

Cool stuff man. You got a good idea of values, but try to use it more. Define clearly where the light source comes from, what shadows it'll cast, etc. And keep in mind to stay simple !

Man, I would get lost in all those limbs myself... so it's amazing that you can do them so fluidly.
I'd watch proportions on your newest, but other than that, your life studies are very nice!

Your life studies look great. You've already improved loads since your first post. It looks like you got started where many people do (anime) and decided to start taking it seriously. You're on the right track. I'm a big fan of those multi-pose studies. I've been meaning to try some of those myself.
When you're doing from-life paintings, try your hardest to not exclude the face. I know it feels tedious to paint the facial features after having done the rest of the body, but if you neglect doing so, it will only become a weakness. It's a pretty common thing that people do, so, I'm just giving you fair warning
And, I tell several people this, push your values further. Stark contrast is your friend, and you cannot read form when it isn't there proving highlight against shadow. Once you learn how to do this, you'll be more efficient with your strokes. Also, don't get caught up in using smaller brushes too soon. Make sure you've properly blocked in/roughed out your general form with a harder brush before going in and making smaller details.
That's all I've got to say right now. You're doing great and have gotten a much earlier start than most. It looks like you've gotten a really good feel for dynamic poses from imagination. Keep the good stuff coming.

LoL, I know the feeling of feeling helpless for sure.
Okay, things you can try for lighting:
1) Firstly, try doing some studies of simple things and realize how shadow and light play off of the planes that make up the object. For example, try placing an egg on your desk (it doesn't matter what you use to hold it up). Now, take a look at how the natural light hits it. When you look closely, you will notice that light hits it from angles and then creates almost solid lines of shadow in places. These are called core shadows. They are useful in getting lighting down. Once you start realizing that many things have core shadows, it makes learning lighting a little easier.
www.characterdesigns.com (nudity, I don't know if you can look at this or not) has a great photoset all about core shadow. Take a look at that and try doing a couple of studies.
2) I'd suggest to stay away from color for a bit yet. Learn to block in your colors in grayscale. It doesn't matter the medium (digital, pencisl, charcoal, chalk, dirt, whatever), just as long as you enter into the realization that without being able to read your forms in black and white, you will never be able to show the dramaticism of lighting.
and finally, 3) Don't be hard on yourself, these things take time. There's no use in rushing. Just use your time wisely. If you feel as though you haven't drawn enough for that day, then draw more, but don't force it. Sometimes you need to take a step back and just absorb what you've learned. I've come to realize that when you take that break, chances are that you'll come back better than previously.
Just a little bit of advice, I hope it helps...
Honestly, I've been in your boat before. The pressure of wanting to become good before school starts and things. It sucks, but ultimately, the main thing you have to keep your eyes on is your goals. Even if you feel as though you aren't doing good, nine-times-out-of-ten, you're doing much better than you give yourself credit for.
I'd suggest to just keep on the path you're headed. I think in time everything will fall into place.
Anyway, enough early morning rambling LOL!
Keep drawing, and have fun.

hehe nice algen sketches... keep it up seeing progress..
a tip into getting into the art center...
start with sillouettes then work up to a character
then do a finished character
knowing photoshop is a necessity nowadays
do around 3-4 characters
same process for vehicles..
and environments
show that you can create a conceptual world pretty much..
around 30-40 pages is good..
