hey! sorry for the late reply, I never saw that you commented me.
Sure I can give you tips

Erm...Grid whatever you draw, so for example draw a 1cm square grid on your paper and put the reference photo in a plastic sleeve and draw a 1cm grid on that. Then copy square for square. It sounds tedious, but it isn't when you get started. That'll get you your proportions right.

For shading I practiced drawing a sphere for a long time, and trying to make it looks as 3d as possible, and thus applying those techniques i learned to drawing the face.

I practiced a lot too, I know that sounds cliche but it's so true. You will realise even within a few drawings that you have improved massively.

Attention to tiny details, many people brush them off thinking it wont make a difference, but these are what make the face look realistic.

I can help you a load more if you would need it, in more depth. I also have a book that's quite pointless in places, but some pages are really useful so I could scan them and send them you, if you so wish. Just email my address that I have up on my page!

Hope some of this helps. Thanks for the fave
Speak soon,

Who could just resist distant beauty?
Find me if you find a way.
You may love it if you tried this detachment.
From this distance the beauty burns brightly.
It's warmer from worlds away.
