Hi Maggie, nice studies so far and please don't be afraid about doing copies as studies. They are useful for developing the internal dialogue that asks the right questions when drawing. Just don't labor on them without giving some thoughts about why did the artist had choose to do it that way, and do studies of good art as you have done so far :)
In your last piece the nose a bit weird, I looked at the referance image and you are right it looks a bit weird there too, but the cast shadow shape in your painting is starting a little too low which makes the nose look as if it was cutten, adding a centerline matching the angle helps to see if something is off.
Have fun :)
