No, move on to the next task. Just add this one to your 10-15 min warm up. That way you can improve without grinding. The point of the homework isn't to do it perfectly first time, just to introduce you to the concepts and get feedback on it. The warm up is where you spend the time to get good at it.

The Art of Brom
Here we're getting into the subjective - Gerald Brom is one of my favourite artists (and a pretty fantastic novelist!). That said, if I recommended art books just for the beautiful images contained therein, my list of recommendations would be miles long.
The reason this book is close to my heart is because of its introduction, where Brom goes explains in detail just how he went from being an army brat to one of the most highly respected dark fantasy artists in the world today. I believe that one's work is flavoured by their life's experiences, and discovering the roots from which other artists hail can help give one perspective on their own beginnings, and perhaps their eventual destination as well.
