Good effort, I think what might help is remember to keep track of the larger shapes as you start defining the smaller, individual planes. The body is built to flow from piece to piece with a natural rhythm. An example of this is the back of the head/neck. In your reference, these align into almost one straight with a few subtle curves to show volume of the traps/back of the skull. In your drawing, each plane is well defined but disconnected from one another and creates a line with many juts and angles. The same thing happens with the mouth. Each plane is defined well, but the overall shape is somewhat off the mark and doesnt protrude in the same way your reference does. Youll also see on the right side corner of the lips, it begins to look flat as youve lost the planes defining the curvature of the shapes. Think larger to smaller shapes and it may help.

Asked for help
2021/10/1. Good evening everyone. Here is my latest illustration. It is a scene from the daily life of a Puritan family. It is just an exercise. I have not copied the scene from any pre-existing image or work. I invented the scene even if I used different photos and images to recreate the various objects in the house. In particular, there are several points that I am interested in verifying:
1) the anatomical correctness and proportions of people (it is really difficult to draw such small faces)
2) the dimensions of the furniture
3) the perspective
4) the shadows
5) the colors are too bright and saturated and make the scene too cartoonish.
If you have any suggestions to make it better please leave a comment. Thank you and good week end.
[Since there is no specific section for this type of illustrations in the courses I am following, I post it here. Sorry for the inconvenience]

This is one of my first few standalone attempts at landmarks. Before this, I spent a lot of time tracing over photographed models, so I am confident I have the absolute basics down but I can't perceive the subtleties of poses. For example, in this photo I can't tell what she is doing with her left shoulder(from the perspective of the viewer). Is she pushing it down? Back? A combination of both? I tried comparing her the shoulder position and shoulder blade angle with the orientation of the ribcage, but I have no idea what angle the ribcage is at either. The spine seems to be going in one direction, while the silhouette of her ribcage suggests another direction(spine looks like it's turning left, while the silhouette of the ribcage looks like it's tilting in the other direction). Is there any way for me to reliably draw these subtleties? Thanks!
