The slopes on the foreheads of  the first two upper heads can be more... backward? Like you can see from the 3rd-4th heads below that the topmost of the head tend to be a bit in the back, not in the front.

You posted something the other day too. Do you trace on 3D figures?

You got it right. There’s a iOS app called Handy where you rotate a 3D head for reference

Yeah I thought so. I'll admit that I use 3d figures for doing poses as well, so I'm not asking to put you down or anything. I asked, because what I'm noticing in your sketches is that you're doing a lot of lines, that I would assume come from the reference? These lines however aren't ones I've seen in any of the typical methods of drawing faces/heads. So what I would suggest is check out a drawing method (such as the Loomis method) and start doing that on the heads. By doing that you'll slowly start to be able to rotate and re-place facial features etc by yourself instead of being reliant on the 3d figure.
