Nice gesture studies! I admire that you included expressive hands in them. And I love the light and shadow of that soldier sketch! The shadow across his nose reveals the form so well.
I accidentally clicked the pintrest button (I have the browser extension) on your study of the lady with the bangs, and pintrest matched it with your reference haha! While it is looking quite nice, I see that your version has eyes (and a nose) that are slightly lopsided, as you mentioned. One thing that helps me keep them aligned, is drawing a horizontal or angled line (depending on the tilt of the head) where the bottom of the eyes are, and also along the bottom of the nose, on a separate layer, like Bargue does here: https://images.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=http...-9.jpg&f=1
