Kevin a third try...

I've been working on this third attempt this week and am stopping here to post. I feel I am fairly close to finishing the face but am having problems in a few areas. Any suggestions, as always, will be appreciated as I value your critiques more than you can know...

1. This is on Strathmore 400 paper which is much smoother and has been easier to work on, however the paper does not help with rendering the short hair (the toothier paper last time almost gave the very short hair appearance with no effort) Any suggestions?

2. Still not altogether happy with the mouth but am not sure why. I really wish my son lived close by, I would have him sit for me. He's in the middle of the ocean off the shore of Mexico (Coast Guard) and I will not see him until July (sad mom!) Anyway, I am e-mailing him these pics and he really likes this one... But there is something I am not seeing around the mouth.

3. Am I better off leaving the whole side in the full sunlight clean, or should I continue the attempt to turn the side of the face away from viewer?

Thank you, in advance, for your input.
