Yo nice work! it does seem you stylize the heads a bit, I think it works well just note some of the chins are too thin, almost like in anime, and you do tend to make lips narrower than the reference, but construction seems solid and shading is clean, I also like how you leave a line for the malar-labial rhythm and shade behind it. I feel you simplify the shadow areas really well. Your use of angles, curves and straight lines also work very well on the figures
cheers!
@Pattu_w and @mitsuki-youko Thanks for your feedback. As you both rightfully pointed out, the eyes are a little too big or too close together - I will be more conscious of it. As for the face you tagged, @mitsuki-youko, I started with an oval rather than a sphere, so maybe that's why it looks narrow (perhaps a little too thin).
@snakker I appreciate your kind words. I tend to go for a more stylized look when drawing in Procreate as that is what I enjoy doing the most. On paper, however, I strive for realism.
I just finished watching the last video of Term 2, that is, Perspective 2. I will soon tackle the assignments for the term, but I first want to conduct a master study of Johannes Vermeer's painting Girl with a Earl Earring. Although I should have completed the master study by the end of last week, I will now devote the greater part of this week toward studying the painting and enacting the pointers found in the Visual Communications 2 assignment. I have completely turned down the saturation of the painting so I can study the painting in grayscale. I am attaching the image for anyone else's reference.
Good advice to focus completely just on grayscale/shadow without colour being involved. good luck!
I just finished my master study of Vermeer. I took some notes and copied his portrait (the one from my last post). I had a lot of fun and I am happy that construction-wise my portrait is believable. The female subject I drew ended up with a less rounded face but the likeness is somewhat there. I also tried really hard to separate shadow from light so let me know how I did in that department. As far as using charcoal, I want to first improve my gradient drawing with the current tools I have. I certainly don't want to pick up a new tool and think to myself that it will solve all of my problems. But yea...that's where I am right now.
Gesture Drawing (including last week's which I forgot to post): 
Vermeer master study:
lookin good so far!
Practiced some more construction and drew a scenery in one point perspective. I noticed that my head drawings turned out better the bigger I drew them. Those with an asterisk next to them are those drawings that I didn't use the whole canvas for. On a similar note, I used an HB pencil to gesture draw for a change. Anyway, I would appreciate some feedback.

eyyy this looks great!
Hey, i don't have any technical feedback to give besides that you did really good! The gestures look dynamic and portraits are quite nice too. Really great job!
