Jeff--
You're getting a real nice feel for rendering volume and mass as it relates to tonal values. She really has weight and presence.
Quickly, one thing I've noticed consistent in all three drawings is that the edge of her neck is creeping forward. If you drop a plumb line vertically downward on your reference (use the edge of a card or piece of paper), you'll see it ends directly below the edge of the colored part of the eye. Any farther forward than that and it makes her neck too thick, and her head too small.
Hang in there, man, you're getting better. Progress in art is often incremental.
