Thanks for the critique in my sketchbook, you had a great eye. You're killing it with those pen sketches, I love how you're constantly practicing the fundamentals of line and construction. Sorry, this might be too late, but here are a few things I thought of when seeing the book cover piece:

I would have done a paint over but my portrait skills are atrocious, but hopefully, an edited photo would illustrate those points. I think many of these issues can be sharpened by doing a couple of 1 to 1 cast studies or accurate value studies in general. Hope this helps, hope to see more and keep up the great work!
