Drawing a face

As was to be expected, my first drawing of a face is not very convincing. What I'm clearly lacking is experience and knowledge. I hope by doing it more often, I will get better. In the center you can see my pathetic attempt to copy a drawing of a face (top right corner). Nevertheless, I see a couple things I can improve immediately: draw more cautious (less pressure on the pencil), and try to measure the basic shape from the original (not proceed until that is correct).

I promise to get better, much better, than this.

(Note to self: drawing life images would be a very humbling experience right now, perhaps I should stick to self portraits until I'm better at this)
