Honestly you aren’t far off here. I think what is causing the illusion is that her cranium isn’t round enough. Being too pointy gives the illusion of a wider jawline. Her chin is pointy and your cheek lines just need to be more round starting at the chin. A nice arc here would give a more round and full face, her signature. Also her signature is the hair ow it hugs the face. This also helps give the illusion of a smaller face. The eyes need to be closer together and this too helps that same illusion of a slimmer face. You could also extend the bridge of the nose to be longer. All in all you did a great job. You can keep working on you line quality, getting those arcs to be smoother and just keep practicing this drawing from reference as you will improve with mileage. Hope this helps you see where you can improve your future portraits.

Tried a face but got it all wrong
Artist's notes:
Was feeling a bit confident partway through the portraits tutorials on artwod and decided to try and draw a face from reference of a manga picture of Falin from Dungeon-Meshi. Every time I went to add something I realised the proportions were more and more off and my corrections seemed to get me nowhere either. I think I massively overcompensated when thinking she had a wide face, too, so I ended up stopping before I made it any worse. Any feedback is much appreciated.
