i scribbled on this for a while. here's what i think:
you're kind of shading in twotone. everything's either inshadow/notinshadow, and for the shadows you're using one colour and for the lights, all the others. as a result, everything's kind of bulbous and disconnected. you need more midtone.

Humans have so much junk in their brains for recognising faces that you really need a reference to get the features' positions right. Also, there's some stuff you only see when looking at a reference (eg. tops of heads aren't prefect spheres).

No I didn't :D! I wasn't really aiming at realism.
Thanks for the tips. I'm currently working on something but maybe I'll try to improve this when I find time.
