Interesting to see the way you work Russ, with the buildup of layers. I work in a totally different way - complete the outline, then work in a small area until complete, usually starting with the eyes.
And its hard to see from the reference, but the hair looks like it needs more 'refinement'? See, I wouldn't use a solid graphite block to darken it as it just won't capture the detail. I would use a finer pencil workng over each small area.
Nice work so far though.
