Rendering technique - Rendering - Community Driven Art Feedback Platform

This work is far from perfect in all terms, but I wanted to inquire specifically about rendering. I'm not sure if I'm doing it right, both "mechanically" and "theoretically". I feel like some edges are too soft, while other are too sharp. I use only a round brush and the blend tool, but I've seen others using e.g. airbrush, but when I try it, it makes everything too blurry, or a lasso tool, which I have no idea how to use. This is my first post here and it's kinda a "test" of this website, thanks to everyone in advance

Studying value organization with that one checkered optical Illusion.

I find myself overthinking if the values are light or dark enough. God help me if i have to start coloring.

Dress drapes

I'm having trouble creating the "spiky drapes" at the end of her dress, especially at the front ; also the skirt is meant to be very tight around the thighs and pelvis/waist, are the lines right here ?

Figure drawing

I tend of having a bad habit of making the head sometimes too large on my figures and I struggle connecting the rib cage with the head. Also some inconsistencies with the limbs as well. You can also include any other things that I need to work on.

Ship and waves

Revision! Decided to change teeth so they look less vampiric and more goblin like.

3 values study

This my 3 values study, is there any mistake or anything I can improve on? Since I couldn't find my own mistake. Thank you.

First colored portrait

This is my first ever colored portrait. Feels like my values are way too light, wanted to make it darker but I just can't get it right. The ear is kinda bad, didn't take my time there it was mainly a coloring/value focused practice

Drawing Faces

I’ve been practicing drawing for a year, specifically faces. I feel that I have improved a lot, but often my drawings seem out of proportion or with the perspective poorly made. I have a hard time finding the right angle for my eyes, despite practicing Loomis. And the features often feel out of place. This particular practice has lasted 30 minutes (5 minutes per head), and I tried to stylized it a little bit, but I would like feedback on which things to prioritize when representing the angle of the head and its features. Thank you very much!
