Jimmie... someone is practicing! Much better.
If it is not the intention of the live studio for the model to sit for a portrait, have you tried having some fun, putting some limited color on your palette and using deliberate strokes before blending? I think it is really helpful in seeing the planes of the face (I don't mean the angular cutting in, like you have her neck). I know I have seen a few by the Arizona group that do this ie: Brandon, Jones and Saper.
