You're growing more comfortable with each attempt. Sometimes you need to take a step backward to get a running start so don't sweat attempt #3. Your drawing skills are really beginning to manifest and that's the biggest problem for everyone.

The only thing I would council you to do is to try and keep the shadow side values from getting contaminated with the halftone and light values. This will give you stronger sense of the form.
