Try to break down the skull into simpler forms, you might be trying to remember a lot of details you don't really need and missing things that are important.
If you have one of Bridgeman's construction books he has a page where he breaks down the head as a ball with the sides chopped off, a boxy form for the forehead, a block for the cheekbones, a cylinder for the teeth and a little wedge for the chin. I think that might be a good base for your studies, you can add details like teeth or texture when you get the basic forms nailed.
One little thing it doesn't look like you've realized is that the outer edge of the eye socket is a bit further back than the inner edge, so we can have a wider field of vision. Because of that when the head is turned the further eye socket will be foreshortened.
Keep up the good work!
