Great studies!
I think with regards to your casino test piece, some attention to edge control could help a lot. For example you have very soft edges on the cheeks, but parts of the neck on the man have just as soft edges when it would be mostly muscle instead of fat. As a general rule of thumb, bone is hard edged, fat is soft edged, and muscle is a firm in between edge of the two. Apologies if I'm just repeating something you already are aware of, haha.
The first version you had did a better job of paying attention to those edges, even if the forms weren't super defined yet, but your last one has lost the control and is making some forms read rounder than they should. Hope that's helpful!
