yo Nefas,
trying to get that realistic look... respectable goal.
If you're trying to get the face down without always using a ref, skull studies are where its at. Once you get a basic understanding of bone and muscle structure you should be able to draw any face.
But in terms of your image, Its hard to see the bridge of the girls nose. Use values to differentiate that. (maybe its just me but the nose also seems a little small) did you use a ref?
You could also pull out the dark values a little, in terms of shading your light values make the face seem a little flat.
I would also suggest make the skin a little more realistic by detailing. In real life, values don't usually turn that smoothly if that makes sense...
Here is a nice brush pack that can help give you nice skin detailing.... http://danluvisiart.deviantart.com/art/M...-118954791 , the guys also explains how and where he uses his brushes.
... hopefully that helped : )
