A nice little drawing from a life session.

Only a couple of comments. Even if accurate, that "double chin" isn't too flattering. I'd greatly reduce the reflected light under the chin and largely eliminate the dark contour lines in that area (let the boundaries of the value shapes be your "lines", to keep it soft.)

You've indicated a shadow on the side of the nose, and whatever light is creating that would, I think, cause the eye socket on our right to be in a bit more shadow, especially between the eye and the nose.

Lastly, I'd be surprised if the distance between the bottom of the nose and the top of the upper lip weren't a little short (or perhaps the nose is just a bit long), but of course I don't have the model to look at, so there's not much more to observe about that.

Nicely drawn.
