Adam, I liked the format you used for your paintover, so I stole it mwahahahahaha
I would like to cosign what MissLillyArt said. Start with a harder round brush using the color you want for the darker areas, and then 'bring out' the highlights lighter areas.
Nefas, overall, you have a decent understanding of form and structure. No reference? Not bad! Some more studies of skulls will help you to remember where the bones are and how they affect the skin.
One thing I immediately noticed was the eyeballs. Remember they are a globe, and they will affect how the eyelid 'sits' on them. Studies of eyes of all different ethnicities will help with that. The corners of the mouth are more often than not directly beneath the pupils. I drew a straight line down so you can see what I mean.
The bridge of the nose should be a little more pronounced so that the nose doesn't just sort of sit in the middle of the face. When you show the nose connected to something, it will be more realistic. Again, skull studies will help tremendously. It's Halloween time, so try to find a good realistic skull at one of the Halloween stores! :D
Here is my sketch over. The red lines show where the skin is affected by the underlying bones, muscle, and tissue. The highlighted areas show which areas would be most affected by the bone structure underneath.
Hope this helps!

p.s. Don't worry about style. It will come on its own, organically ;)
