yeah man i know what you mean (esp faces they are my enemy! lol), though one method of study that someone has found effective may not work the same for a different person. I did fine art and completed my 2 year A level course in it and the teachers actually never really taught anything, (not even fundamentals!) it was just the students having to choose a subject matter and going out and drawing it by themselves or copying images. I find that the moment you begin to seek the fundamental knowledge and understanding of why something is the way it is and begin to apply this knowledge and practice it consistently you begin improving. Basically a teacher can only teach you what they know but knowing something without applying it will not help you improve.
There are a lot of resources and videos in the classes section here and videos on youtube (feng zhu's being some of my favourite also ctrlpaint.com is a great resource) where by the artists that frequent this site are helping others with the knowledge and understanding they have, might be worth checking that out and going through some of the assignments. Hope that was in some way helpful to you, and I don't want to spam your sketchbook with this , so I'll come back after you update it with more work and comment on it :). Keep pushing!
