Hey, great work! I can see you're putting out a lot of great quality stuff.
I can also see that you're overdoing highlighting a bit, and having some slight problems with proportion. Particularly with that black girl-- The face you were reproducing was shrunk inwards, and the head was too small for the body. Remember to take care with every line you put down when reproducing things.
My best advice for you isn't really my advice, but something I found online about studying. Copying/reproducing isn't necessarily studying, even if it may help-- This is something I've been doing as well, which I need to kill. For the most part.
Here's a video about it that's really helped me to see the point:

It can be difficult to really look behind what you're doing and get an abstract/theoretical sense of how it all fits together. I think that something that will help us both, is to write down notes of what we're analyzing, and what we notice about it. Where the light is coming from, how it casts the shadow, and why the person's stance is the way it is. Maybe even breaking it up into its most simplified parts.
Let's try to get the most of our studies. :)
