Hey Matthew! Just some notes on face proportions and measuring. Her cranium seems too small and her mouth isn't lined up with her lips. For a relaxed mouth, it should be the right under it at the same angle (follow the cupid's bow). Also, the mouth is a tad small. If you draw a line from the pupil, the corners of the lips should meet it (in a "standard" face. It's the case in your reference). In terms of values, the main shadow shapes are on the left side of the frame, and they're soft. You might want to work with references with clearer shadow shapes. I like practicing with 2, 3 values to really commit to the shadow shapes (which reads more 3d). You could experiment drawing just shapes instead of lines. It's useful to map the planes of the face, too. That's what I work on to try to get a more 3d feel. I hope this helps. :) Just getting started with the course and looking forward to learning more.
