when i do a portrait i always start with the nose. from there you can dictate spatial distances between the eyes, lips, chin, cheeks, forhead, etc. some other advice would be to tone down the eyes. you may think you are replicating how big the eyes are in the picture, but its from my experience that if you draw the eyes smaller than you think they are they actually come out right. make your delineations between features softer. look at real lips and eyes, they dont have hard lines surrounding them. you did a good job with the hair.
