Good for you for putting your stuff out there I know that takes courage. In my opinion and hopefully this is helpful to you. Something that stood out to me in the last drawing is that it looks like you are adjusting image elements to make them more semetrical from what they actually are. I think as humans we tend to prefer semetry but it if you look closer at the photo you can see that there's actually alot of asemetry. For example. You have centered the pupils of the eyes, but in the photo they are only half circles and much more cut off at the top, this seems to make a much stronger expression. Also, the lips in your drawing are much more mirrored in the actual photo. Asymetry can give an image much more movement where as symetry tends to make it more static. I know it can seem counterintuitive but I'd encourage you to give it a try.
I’m taking the Drawing Basics course, and I’m trying to get into the habit of drawing as often as possible. I’ll try to do my best to organize my time better so I can at least do 1 sketch per day. When in doubt of what to draw to practice, I choose cats.

I've been neglecting my sketchbook recently but did some heads today.

Yes, there are Loomis Heads. These, however, are Nolan Heads. I've attached the cover of Bill Nolan's book along with my attempts at inking with a brush pen.

MiniSketchbook p03: 3.5"x5.0". Trying to figure out watercolor pencils.
Wow! These colors are great!! And the eye looks so cool! Water colored pencils have been a tough one for me but a technique I like to have fun with is dipping the pencil tip in the water before putting it to the paper, it gives it a thick and very pigmented line
If your still looking for some ink inspiration kerby Roseanne's is a really fun artists to look into as far as ink lines, he doesn't do much value work with the ink but his line work and detail with it is very inspirational

Sketch Journal pages 6 & 7.
I'm sure glad this thread exists because I like to post now and then, but getting through some of the tutorial videos takes me a while (I'm presently working my way through Drawing Basics' Draw Any Pose From Any Angle).
Anyway, still working out the whole Ink Thing. Page 6 is messing with a few extremes.
Page 7 is a drawing from life highly idealized.
Those are some nice head shapes on page six! If I should try and find something to critique I think maybe you can look out for some snowman effect on the page 7 figure! Great job!
