Sketching from Observation, critiques are welcome!

Hello,
I'm following the Drawing Basics course.
The sketching from observation project was an eye opener and I'm trying to not get into that perfectionist mindset while sketching.
I must admit it's hard, and sometimes I get frustrated but I'm determined to get good !
Can I have some critiques about these 3 sketches ? How are my lines and what could I improve on ?
I think I spend too less time looking at my reference. I don't quite understand it before sketching.
Thank you ! :)
I would shade a little to give a 3d feel to the form. It feels a little.flat. try to put the heads in perspective. Nice job overall :)

I like your sketches! Try to be mindful when selecting reference images, the first image has pretty significant camera distortion. It is possible to use images like this but you will have to recognize the distortion and correct it as you work, which can add another layer of complexity while learning. The second two are great images to practice from!
Thank you very much for your message ! Where do you think I should go from there ? Should I continue and do more of those kinds of quick sketches ?
