This gives a very strange overall look..everything's there in the right place but something doesn't feel right. I went over this with a big brush and just blocked in the shapes of the core light and shadows from that angle. You can get better at doing this by doing a lot of photostudies and life studies and squinting your eyes to see the bigger shapes. You're basically looking at light hitting a form than painting the subject itself. You'll also notice than in shadows there isn't that much detail. I think you'll find this really useful and it'll save you a lot of time detailing needlessly.

Hope this helps

Sam
