Hey buddy! Cool stuff! I like that there's a lot of work being uploaded, which is a positive thing in of itself. And there's also progress so it's all good! Devotionless or not, your tries are getting better and better.
Regarding faces I can give you a couple tips:
A) Studying structure is important ( duh) but I feel that to get a convincing face or convincing features, your construction knowledge should only be used inside your head when you're drawing a face, not all over the paper. What I mean by that is that , to get convincing eyes the most important part is to get your mark making right and very sparce, not to draw everything you know it's there otherwise you'll get a wonky look, I suffered this for ages on my stuff, and when I started trying to just simplify and put my attention on what marks should I put on the paper or the canvas to build those eyes rather than doing it with just lines. It's hard to explain but I hope it helps.
Also, try to always keep in mind the general proportions and balance for a figure while you're focusing on the construction stage, that way your figures will feel more solid and more of a whole rather than detailed parts.
Overall I find your progress really nice buddy, I'll keep an eye out to see what's next! ;)
