Study looks good man, though be aware of your value ranges. Guessing it's from a photo, and a brightly lit/taken in a studio one. As long as you're aware of that then it's fine, and maybe try a more naturally lit one for the next study?

For the head, not sure what to say. Feels a bit flat. If you've ever studied one of those planar head models then you'll know what I mean, keep in mind the sides of the head especially. Her forehead seems very flat and should be more curved, with planes at the sides, the keystone between the eyebrows should be forward a bit more, the bottom of the lips is a bit too far into the face, things like that. I like to think of it as 3D modelling; if you've ever dabbled in that you'll know how you can model something to look OK from one angle, but as soon as you rotate you see just how fucked up it is. Try rotate in your mind, or at least go down a checklist of each plane, whether it's too deep or shallow, right or left, etc. Nice work on the skin though and I dig the colours.

Another thing to check out for face planes would be Linran's sketches, the polished stuff not so much. Guy knows his forms very well and you can learn a bunch by thinking them all through. Keep it up man, see you post here a bunch and you do well to take crits and then just go back to work, not discouraged at all.
