Those portraits are really something, and better than a lot of work i've seen in art school. I wouldn't say don't change anything because artists should be constantly evolving and experimenting. So, if anything, i would say don't be afraid to experiment with your work. You capture the essence of these people beautifully, so don't be afraid to take it a step further, maybe with different materials or fiddling with abstraction. The old mans hair in your first portrait sort of blends in with the background and that is kind of what i mean by abstraction. Obscured details like that can give a work more meaning, like you are communicating to us this man's ties to his past. You have the skill, so just see how far you can push yourself and figure it what you want to communicate to the world.
