Back to basics
Linda,
Drawing portraits is one of the most difficult things to do. I suggest you go back to basics before attempting a head again. Master the drawing of simple shapes, spheres, cylinders, cubes, cones, etc.. Get some basic books that will guide you in the beginning process of drawing. Get the Walter Foster books. They are simple, cheap and readily available. They will give you valuable information on beginner materials. "How to Draw" One and Two, plus "How to Draw Heads" would be very useful.
Do not copy photographs now; you will never learn how to do solid form. Take figure drawing classes, most communities have something, Jr. colleges, continuing ed. etc..
Get a few skills under your belt and then submit. You will see how much even in a limited time you will learn if you try to do it the right way.
