I rarely draw human faces, for the record. I used references for the noses on 4, 5, and 6. The rest are completely from my imagination. What should I continue to practice? I think #5's face is too long. Sorry if it's a bit hard to see, these are drawn in pencil.

I would practice on ugly faces. One common problem I'm seeing is folks drawing pretty faces all the time, never stretching into faces with more character. Age, uneven features, etc. it can be difficult to convey uneven features without it looking like you did a bad job drawing the person, and that's a real challenge to solve that will make all your drawing better.
Good idea. I did try to change up the facial features on each of them, but still drawing them "pretty," I suppose.
Even your monstrous girlie with the eyes is pretty.
I do notice that you tend to draw the dip of the top lip and avoid going into more detail about the features; these are sketches, maybe you picture filling them in with color to depict the lip line later?
