Hey nice facial feature studies! I'm not sure if you're going too fast or not, but one thing to get out drawing symbols is to understand the subject you're drawing. A quick way for that to translate to actual practice is to first trace the subject, for example the eye. Then draw it again, next to your traced over image. Then compare the two. That way you get rid of all surrounding information, like color and light and can just focus on the lines.

And just some general feedback; I notice that you only focus on the inner part of the eyes, not drawing the eyelids or the shelf of the eyebrow. I think you'll get a more accurate representation if you try to capture the whole eye region in your studies, and It'll be easier to then "attach" them to your faces.

My lines ended up really rough in the portraits. I am not sure if tracing helped, I think it made a bit of a difference

Need to focus on observing the reference more.
Not much but I spent 2 minutes looking at the reference before drawing it
hope it helped

I got some great advice about my process that has helped me alot.
So what I do is I trace the construction and some of the larger shapes.
Then I redraw it without tracing. I done it very roughly today but I think the difference is clear

I have a good process now

Makes me realise that I need to slow down and focus on accuracy. My mistakes here are due to my own impatience to finish the drawing over having an accurate drawing.

I forgot to check for mistakes on the sketch
