Hello Rek
Drawing the head is difficult and it takes time. I would recommend you to focus on the basic shapes of the head, the features look good but if the head doesn't have the right shape, the face is going to look weird.
Try to ignore the secondary shapes and focus on the skull (the ball) and the jaw.
Also make sure to place the centerline and thirds in the direction similar to the reference just like Steve mentioned :) . Check out the playlist on how to draw the head: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL39135B8D190B7C97&si=EtSpMwRafyCH1QsW
Cheers :)
For such a difficult angle of the head, you should try lining up the top and bottom of the head as well as the features. Be mindful of the angles of the head by lining up your pencil to the angle, then transfer that angle to the drawing.
I did a quick sketch to show you how to do this, I hope it helps :)
