Nice studies! Are you taking Brian Knox's online livestreaming class? I was going to take it but wasn't sure how it was going to be like. Your studies look pretty solid. I agree with Fedodika's comment on avoiding the shading for now and trying to just nail the structure. Your rendering with a pencil shows you've got good shading technique anyway. Another suggestion is to practice drawing some heads using reference and then afterwards, do a drawing overlay above the reference to see if you are drawing what you think an eye is vs how the eye actually is drawn. Then redraw it from imagination or reference again and try to see if you can connect everything you're learning to what you see in real life by looking at your face in the mirror or a friends. You mentioned doing something similar with other artists and dynamic poses. Yeah something like that but with faces! I hope this helps!
