Sharon,
I can sympathize with what you are going through! Sometimes a likeness comes easily, sometimes it is elusive and frustrating.
Whenever I am having trouble with a head, I wipe it out and start again, sometimes several times. I figure that, each time, I'm getting to know the person's features and bone structure more. At the same time, I try to approach each try with no conscious memory of what I did the last time. I measure the relative distances between features, check proportions, etc., as though I had never seen the person before.
Hope this helps. I have total confidence that you will get the likeness, and that you won't stop until you do!
