If you're looking for help/crits on these you should post the reference next to the study.
It looks okay to me, I would have tried doing a smoother, simpler surface for a value study, less wrinkles and texture to worry about. You've separated the shadow from the light side, great to see that starting to happen! And I think it's smart how you've left the details in the lights and haven't detailed the darks much, but I think the ear should have just a liiiiitle definition. Not sure how that hair above the ear is so light, since from its position it seems like it would be in shadow.
Keep up the good work dude!
