      Love your drawing! Your shading and detail is also awesome. I think that the eyes are a little off though, that is the most noticeable thing. Maybe some guides for the eyes and facial shape during the sketch phase would be beneficial! Awesome work!!

      Also please draw each eye simultaneously line by line and make sure they are one eye apart u can just trace in the refrence how the eye wraps around the face
    
    
    
    
      





 
           
           
           
           
           
          
Also this may be personal preference, but the overall image is in a mid range of contrast, Something to keep in mind is that the dark parts of (any drawing but especially portraits) is always darker then you'd think.
Don't be afraid to go really dark in areas and highlight others.
Good work!
