should I push the area between the cheekbone and the jawbone to a middle value?

No, I wouldn't. The shadow under the chin is a middle value, but the transitional edge turning up to her cheek bone is a light value. If you massed it with the middle value shadow, it would change the shape of her face, making it less round. I wish I had a way to capture this image,...you all seem to have no problem with this...
Mari, I would like to have you take this image and push it to black and white. The painting has to work as a black and white portrait. This is also the easiest way to see if your values are correct.
