Your b/w portrait is definitely heading in the right direction for you and has some nice form to it. Lots of improvement too. The main thing I would suggest would be to focus on having sharper edges in your work (particularly in figures or still life). Perhaps block out your shapes initially and refine the edges so they're a little crisper, or work from a sketch that keeps things a little tidier. I think if you made the shapes more defined it'd really push you forward. Hope that helps, keep at it!
you've got an interesting style going on, but it does need to be tightened up a bit. Especially the studies, theres only so much your going to learn if you dont push it far enough and get out of your comfort zone, and your natural style could evolve into something really interesting if you push yourself man! Keep it up.

Thanks for the critique! I'll try to work a bit cleaner and start with line-art (since I didn't do that for any of the studies above ;_;)!

thats why it is important to flip your image from time to time :)
Flipping the image forces your brain to think that your are looking to a new picture, for a few seconds at least.
And thumbs up for that portfolio design.
