Portrait study? - Portraits - Community Driven Art Feedback Platform

Hi! It’s my first post here, and this drawing is far from done but I’m having a lot of trouble with the shading- my reference was a smooth marble statue and I can’t get my shading to look good smooth. I’m more used to using hatching and cross hatching with my art, I’m new to realism but my goal is to make it as realistic as possible, so any kind of advice with the shading, contrast, proportions or anything in general is more than appreciated, thank you!
