Hi Jimmie,
You are making terrific progress! This is amazing improvement.
It looks like you are painting up to the lines of your sketch and stopping. You won't be able to do this perfectly from both sides, so it will give your edges a bit of a stitched-together appearance. Try painting overlapping the lines and pushing back the edge with color from the other side. This frees up your brushwork and helps you to think more in terms of areas rather than lines. As you become accustomed to this, you will have more confidence in being able to make corrections to your drawing on the spot.
If you are pressed for time, look at everything you are doing and try to move everything that isn't actual painting as much as possible out of the pose time. Premix a range of values on your palette ahead of time, thinned with medium as needed. Have enough brushes on hand so you can use different ones for different ranges of values and for each brush size you need, so you won't need to spend any time cleaning brushes during the pose, but just clean them up at the end.
