Hi Michael,
I am enjoying this thread very much. In this latest drawing and in one or two of the others I wonder if you are doing axis lines to establish alignment of the features. I know that I very often put eyes to flat or I overcompensate and put one eye to high or low and ditto for alignment of lips and nostrils. I find that one way to see problems and perhaps to avoid them is to establish axis lines at the beginging of the drawing process and leave marks visible perhaps outside the edges of the face so alignment can be checked from time to time. I really think that taking a more scuptural approach to the drawing process in the early stages to establish alignment and the basic planes of the head would help you rather than to rely only on shading to establish form.
Keep up the good work.
