I took some advice from my previous try of this kind of artwork. And I hand drew both eyes and fixed the skin to be viewable.
The face shape kinda urks me, but the rest I'm pretty proud of! You can actually tell that I drew my little sister than a generic person.

It's really not that bad. I think the problem here is the perspective of the face. The mouth looks like it's slightly facing away from the viewer while the eyes and nose are directly towards the viewer. Imagining the character's head/face on a three dimensional plane helps a lot. I recommend you watch a video by sycra (www.youtube.com/watch?v=9q0XbSbkj3g) to help you think about perspectives and such. You seem to have good potential, keep on improving!

There is still a way to go, but keep going.

A few tips that worked out for me that maybe you want to apply:

1. If you feel like the face shape is off. Or the placement seems wrong. Use a foto of a real human and place it over your drawing, you will see instant what is off. ( You can also apply the basic steps, drawing a cirkel etc.)

2. Instead of making small lines at a time, make 1 fast stroke, ctrl-z is your friend. This will give you a smoother line, it might take you allot of tries, but if you hit the mark it will look much better.

3. Mirror your piece every now and then, your eyes get used to mistakes very fast, this way you re-adjust your way of looking. [ctrl-a], [ctrl-t], [right-click] turn horizontally.

4. Take a further look from your drawing, zoom out and take a few seconds to look. Or take a picture and look at it during your breaks.

5. For more dept you might want to use darker shadows, it will take some getting used to.

6. If there is 1 lightsource (like the sun) There will be 1 spot that will catch the most light, the rest will be a tad-bit darker. Try to keep in mind where your light is coming from and which parts will only get a little or none.

There are many many more things, but I hope this helps a little. Keep it up!

I like the eyes, they have some pretty good coloring, But if I were you I would make the background darker.
