June 30 Sketchbook Pages Challenge Day 7

I am happy with the pose and the objects around the character. The main problems I'm seeing in this piece are proportions. Firstly, the head is much larger than I intended, and it makes this character look like a young girl when I was going for a lady just getting back from work look. I had already drawn a face I was happy with and the hand felt believably placed on the head so honestly I couldn't muster the willpower to draw the head again at that point. I also think the left arm's above the forearm (do you call that an upper arm?) is short, and I am unsure about her right arm's proportions. I did spend some time fixing things in the construction stage, but I got hasty and did not double check when the figure was fully in, I actually extended the length of her right forearm by enlarging the elbow, and I think that helped. I could use some tips on dealing with proportions when dealing with dynamic angles. The one tip I already know I need is to fix all these problems in the construction stage!!! Thank you!

FIgure drawing

Which version is better constructed? I want my figure to have a downward-tilted pelvis and for the contrapposto to be visible. It seems to me that the first figure has more volume, but I’m confused by the fact that the front plane is higher on the side that should be lower, which is why the contrapposto isn’t noticeable.

Sketch 06 - Girl in the fog

Very rough sketch of a scene I'm planning on painting. This is my first attempt at mapping out values and would love some pointers. The scene is supposed to read as a foggy mid day after heavy rain.

Hand/Arm drawing

I can't really get how to draw good looking fingers and hands like how the skin wraps around the knuckles and just the general shape of the palm. My arm also doesn't look quite right. Possibly because of the foreshortening? Please give advice if you can.
