Hey there! I adjusted the lighting a little. I feel like this makes it look more believable and a bit closer to what you were trying to achieve. I adjusted it this way because the forehead is illuminated only halfway, as is the chin, and the right eye is also slightly illuminated. This suggests that the light is coming from a more three-quarter angle, allowing it to illuminate the nose and right cheek as well. It also creates a shadow from the head onto the neck. Just a few small adjustments. :) Hope this helps!

Was supposed to be a sketch but took it all the way. Idk if there is anything wrong with it just appreciate feedback. I think the values might be a little wonky
