these are brilliant! so much breaking down and understanding and those ink works are stunning. you certainly know how to use a pen.
two things i've noticed-- either the photos/scans are poor or your pencils are too blunt D: if the former, eh-- they aren't for us, they're for you! but if it is the pencils being blunt, i would recommend sharpening them (all the time) and looking at how you are using your pencil lines specifically (perhaps in a similar mindset to how you use your pen...?? it could just be the contrast in the scans/photos, but they seem so light!).
secondly! most of these studies are from two dimensional forms-- which is an okay thing, but i think you could benefit from drawing some still lifes. i've seen your self portraits and you seem uncomfortable about drawing from life D: this is unfortunate, because as you're doing heaps of studies here with the human face! perfect opportunity to do some daily self portraits as a part of the mix!
great work and brilliant source of motivation-- keep it up and keep it going
