@Melinda Hamsher for sure! The one thing you wanna think about is reevaluating the term "loose". Loose shouldn't be we loosen our measuring, in fact it should be the opposite. The looser the paintingthe more accurate the measuring and values should be or else the whole thing falls apart

@Jericho Morales Looking good! my suggestion to improve is to increase the midtone levels between certain values. such as the light of the chin against the shadow of the jawline. You can add 1 to 2 more midtone strokes thats inbetween those two values that will automatically help soften the turn of form while at the same time main structural integrity.
