Man, you have jumped forwards lately! Those perspective studies are really paying off for you, they're making pretty much everything seem more 'solid' or three dimensional. It couples up well with the visual library study too, there is some nice stuff going on with those Neolithic village perspective and thumb studies, just in terms of translating the input information into an output.
As you get more comfortable with the perspective studies and the Loomis head planes, you may want to try to marry the two concepts together a bit. Heads don't need to have ultra tight perspective or anything, but it helps to think of the parallel lines (such as those making the brow line, cheek plane, chin, etc) in the Loomis constructions as doubling up as perspective lines. The effect of perspective is small for a head, but it is a handy tool once you get used to applying it to different things. :)
The improvements in your line quality and drawings from imagination are a real testament to the volume of work you've done as well - I suspect as you keep doing the perspective work you will just steadily build on this. The Scott Robertson book seems to be clicking well for you too. Keep up the good work!
