Hi Brenda,
The painting of the father looks anatomically correct so far and you've got a good start to the modeling. On my monitor, which may be reading wrong, it looks like the lights/halftones/shadows are all very warm, and you're relying too much on value changes to express form and have neglected using chroma changes to give the head solidity. The general rule of thumb is that if you have warm light then you have cool shadows, and the reverse, if you have cool light you have warm shadows. There are several areas that can challenge that 'rule' such as local color and the color of reflected light, but warm light/cool shadows and cool light/warm shadows are good places to start.
The drawing accuracy is the hard part, and that looks pretty good. Any changes you choose to make now won't be very difficult.
You've got a great start and I'm looking forward to watching the progress!
