Hi, Beth!

Independently of the other critiques, I noticed that the girl's right cheek (the one closest to the window) appears to extend as far out or slightly beyond the nose. To get the nose to protrude farther, I'd lighten the value of the right side of the nose (facing the window), since it is more illuminated in the reference than it is in the drawing, and I would also lighten the highlights on the bulb of the nose as well as on the right wing of the nose. The edge of the highlight on the bulb of the nose should be very crisp. I hope that helps!
