Ooh, nice hands!
Absolutely. From my own experience people are even willing to forgive half-assed hands if you give them a good face.
Ok, knowing your goals, I've got a couple of pointers. These aren't mistakes you're making all the time, but since they're cropping here and there, these landmarks could be useful.
When positioning ears consider the ear hole's location first. It's always below the zygomatic bone (green). The final bit where it narrows is actually already temporal, but whatever, it's helpful to think of it as a single structure. With this, if you know your cheekbones you know here the ear is vertically. Horizontally, it's roughly behind the middle of the head.
The mouth area seems to be troubling you the most. Avoid drawing lips as a feature, add the lines after considering the mass of the mouth area. And the chin, more often than not will support that mass, without "retreating" much towards the neck.
I hope this helps!
