Cool Sketch! The main thing that was off was the anatomy of the face. When drawing a profile perspective, the eyes are typically a more triangle shape. And remember that the bridge of the nose goes outward even when drawing in a more anime style. The other big change was that the back of the head was way too small, and the hair itself was lacking volume. When placing your values, just think about where the light is hitting the face. Certain spots like the upper lip, bottom of the chin, and under the eyebrow are typically in shadow on a sunny day. Just keep practicing. The only way to get better is to study the face and draw from reference. Once you feel comfortable with that, I would progress to stylizing the face more and drawing from your imagination. Great work!

It just looks kinda off and really sharp on any edge, like the eyes hair, and chin, as well as shadows looking super attached, the values also look kinda all over the place
