Combined the studies partly with sphere & other exercises. As for reference 5, i'd argue it is just 1 point perspective since the head is parallel to us as the viewer.

In this demo, I'll show you how to draw heads as boxes in 2-point perspective. This makes it easier to understand the head's simple form at various angles. It's a great exercise for improving your perspective skills and helps you build up to more three-dimensional portrait drawing.

Ended up redoing the heads. I was removing considering too much of the upper/lower planes as part of the front (e.g. forehead). Visualizing what the cube should be shaped like based on what I'm seeing definitely helps.
