Along with my compliments on your beautiful final Domestika project drawing, I must pass along my regrets for not responding sooner (Patreon keeps me quite busy). Your spirited way of communicating across language barriers has also lifted your drawing to very special places. I can see, for example, how you have "lined out" the forehead region, near her hairline. This is an important aspect of intersecting surface planes. As it turns out, the transitions between front surface planes (which "turn into" the top and/or side) are some of the most difficult to manage in a drawing.
There is a related concept, the "space of rest." The great French sculptor/teacher Eduard Lanteri wrote about this in 1903, in his landmark text, "Modeling and Sculpting the Human Figure," which is still published (on Dover publications): https://store.doverpublications.com/products/9780486250069
I also want you to consider acquiring a human skull replica when you are ready. My reason for this is due to the way you drew Kathryn's lower face, which must recede more into a distance, rather than project (as it currently appears to be doing) My "go-to" source for high-quality skulls is:

The tones, and shapes which you are using and showing in this drawing are very encouraging. I'm very happy to be working with you on Patreon!
Warm wishes,
