Great sketchbook you got here. Very clever idea with doing skin tone studies from master paintings.
Something that could improve your drawings a little bit is paying more attention to the lineweight. In all your pencil studies the contours have the same thickness. If you could vary them it would help creating a sense of 3d form but also give the viewer more contrasts to look at. I quickly searched for some tutorials on the topic and found this...

The author has manga style but the section called Some basic things about lines apply to any style of drawing. For example thicker lines appear closer or that it's better to put thin light towards the light and thicker line in the shadow.
Also you would benefit from a bit of still life drawing with some careful measuring and drawing through the form. I know it's not as exciting as anatomy and figure but nothing beats having real object in front of you.
Keep going with those studies.
Cheers :).
