Hey Shinkarasu, I replied to your message in my sketchbook, and I figured I would hop over here and see what you're up to. The other posters here have given you some good advice. I'd like to point out something else. It seems your images in general don't have a strong sense of lighting and are therefore lacking the feeling of form. For example, the soft brush portrait with the red eyes seems to have shadows indicating a top light, which would mean the top of the nose facing the light should be lighter. Really think about how the forms are facing in relation to the light, and how that should change things. Get some images with good directional lighting and study them, or set up your own still life, use 3D software, whatever.
I'd recommend doing the same kind of study I was told to do, like this: https://78.media.tumblr.com/a82e775f0fb3...1_1280.png
Do an at least decent sketch. Divide your overall lights and darks. Work on the transition between light and dark. Then go back and add the more subtle variations of light and dark without breaking the overall separation of light and dark. You can also choose to ignore one side and only focus on the variation in light or only in shadow, since it is a study.
Try something like these:

Hope this helps!
