The chin and teeth are much closer to your reference, now, Leslie. Nice job. I still think the eyes need to arch higher in your painting; the upper lids are too straight. Also take a look at the shape of the face on our right side; I think the cheek is too narrow and the line between the cheek and the hair is too dark. You need some lost edges there and fuller cheeks. Try turning both the painting and the reference photo upside down and some of these things may pop out at you better with that fresh point of view. That trick helps me a lot.

Keep posting your progress!
