The faces are both coming along much better now.

Because both shirts are so rumpled, I would drastically compress the value range in both of them, to downplay them much more than is shown in the reference.

I would try to put all the Dad's shirt values into a very narrow middle/dark range and I would put the child's shirt into a middle/light range and drastically desaturate the blue and red decoration on the sweatshirt.

Treating these complex and distracting areas as simplified value masses will strengthen your composition.
