Welcome, Goob! Nice sketches. It's good to see you're thinking about how to improve your art!
When the guys on 4chan suggest 'Loomis' books, they mean you should study from the books by Andrew Loomis - he's done some great books on constructing heads and bodies, among other subjects. They probably suggest this because it looks like you're 'flattening' the features on the face, drawing them as if the viewer looked at them straight on, while the head is at a certain angle. I recommend doing some face studies, from life or from photos, and studying what happens to features as the head moves around. It'll also help you analyze and understand value more, to make your faces have more form.
Good luck on your path!
