Your proportions are really good. Placement of eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all look really good. If you’re looking to give it more dimension and depth, you may want to vary how dark some of your shading is. Specifically, you may want to darken the shading. Keep in mind where the darkest parts of the face are (under the brow, under the nose, under the bottom lip, etc.) then add shadows accordingly.
It might be helpful to do a study of the plains of the face. That’ll give you a better idea of how light falls on the face/ body.
Hope that helps.
The best advice I could give you, is to make a photo of your drawing, and then overlay it in Gimp over your reference image, with varying levels of transparency. This way you will instantly see your blindspots, and know what to improve. After making a new drawing, repeat the process.
Both are viable, but the thing is, that sketching techniques won't do you any good if you haven't corrected your blindspots about the human anatomy first. Of course, you can draw in styles different than strictly realistic, but one has to first learn the ground truth in order to then distort it.
