really nice studyes here!
if i may, i'll tell you a little something that helped me a lot:
i see you make a thon of photo copies, and your rendering is getting pretty good! but i'd recommend you to change up from photos to master copies. i think that you'll grow a lot more with those!
start up with velazquez, crop some of his figures or portraits, and copy them. try to think what he was looking for, see how he solved his problems. how he got the skin tone right, how he rendered shape, what did he push back, what did he gave more attention? look for that in the masters work and apply that to you, see what works for you!
i believe you'll benefit from it. see ya later!
