It is obvious that you do put in a lot of effort. If you try to construct the head out of basic 3D shapes first, you can get a far better threedimensional impression across. There are some excellent free videos made by Proko on YouTube on portrait drawing that explain the method and what to look out for when drawing the nose, eyes, ears, mouth, etc. Really helped me when I found them. Just search for „proko portrait“ on YouTube or their website and you will find a series of videos by them.

The Art of Brom
Here we're getting into the subjective - Gerald Brom is one of my favourite artists (and a pretty fantastic novelist!). That said, if I recommended art books just for the beautiful images contained therein, my list of recommendations would be miles long.
The reason this book is close to my heart is because of its introduction, where Brom goes explains in detail just how he went from being an army brat to one of the most highly respected dark fantasy artists in the world today. I believe that one's work is flavoured by their life's experiences, and discovering the roots from which other artists hail can help give one perspective on their own beginnings, and perhaps their eventual destination as well.
