OHHHHHH God! I just wrote this huge thing then accidentally closed the tab. UHHHHHHGGGG, all right. Let's try again.
First of all, you are incredibly talented, especially for your age! You seem to really like emphasizing the contours of the features. This can lead to some pretty interesting areas to explore, such as William Beckman, David Hockney, or Alex Katz. One are that could really make your contours shine is to focus on the structure of the head, as opposed to the features.
Suppose I take your source photo into Photoshop and layout the Cutout Artistic Filter. As you can see it really breaks down the subtle variations of the structure of the face. It is really difficult to notice this with the naked eye and takes practice. That is why we tend to shoot straight to the individual features of the face. The features tend to have nice, sharp contrasting values that make the lines whereas the structure tends to be more subtle gradients in color and value.
Laying out the structure of the head with loose general shapes can really make the drawing go pretty easy. Here is an example I quickly threw together from your photo. You'll have to excuse some of the proportional errors of my drawing because I didn't want to dwell to much on that. But you can see that once the structure is laid in it is easy to then come in and start highlighting the contours or the values if you choose. This way your contours won't just trace around the features, but will actually work around the whole shape of the head. A good way to train yourself in this area is to try to drawing the head with only straight lines. /u/drawnlikefrenchgirls is fantastic at this, as demonstrated here and has an incredible skill of composing figure structure (a good book on this is Bridgman's "Drawing from Life").
Topographical shading can also be used to build more structure as well. Take for example this self portrait by Rembrandt. Notice how he shades according to the shape as opposed to the direction of the contour. This is key, focus on shading ACROSS the form, not along it. You started to really get that going on the cheekbones of your drawing. This will also help the lips recede into the mouth smoothly. I found it really helped when I didn't think about shading so much as cross-hatching but as a combination of cross-hatching and topographic lines.
Anyway, that's my two cents :)
Edit: Oh yeah, if you want to play around with photo's but can't invest in photoshop you can always try Gimp. It is free and open source.
Oh wow, great questions! Umm...
Before I even suggest anything, or in any way pretend to authority, here is my disclaimer: What you're doing is already advanced and inspired (and appealing - which is the most intangible quality).
I think you are looking for just a few rules of construction. You can either start logging hours in figure drawing to develop your own system or find a proper system to absorb (and still do figure drawing if you care to).
The best modern system is Loomis - you can grab pdfs guilt free at http://www.alexhays.com/loomis/ and print/bind them at a copy shop. Start with "fun with a pencil" and just zip to the parts about realistic head construction - the book projects the tone of being just for amateurs but don't let that put you off...this is a good way to think about heads. His other "go to" book is "Figure Drawing for All its Worth" - you should just use and refer to the first 100 or so pages to get fully comfortable the the head as a unit of measurement and how it relates to different parts of the body so that you are always "correct" within your chosen proportions (stylized or otherwise).
Last thing I would say - because it has always been an issue for me - is to realize that when you begin making decisions and putting a model on paper it becomes YOUR likeness/your model. Pictures can have weird distortions or models can have awkward features; you aren't a slave to these things and you can definitely apply the construction stuff you alrdy know/will learn from these books to idealize/fix/keep balance in your work (even if it means departing from the source!)
**This guy's book will also help with blocking out forms ( i alternate him in with loomis - also helps keep things in perspective...diff ppl can have diff systems and you can take what you want): http://www.amazon.com/dp/0195030958
Hi - thanks! Yes, this was drawn with an H and an HB and maybe a B pencil, I think.
Edit: Actually it was an H, HB but mainly done with a Dixon Primary #1 pencil.
I found a book called The Pencil by Paul Calle in the 7th grade and have been in love with his style ever since.
Here are some examples of his work as found on Google. His work is just beyond awesome – it's just so awesome, unbelievably great work.
> my 'gram
That's great, I love it. You're drawing is just about as adorable as that little fence lizard.
I was just looking through your other work and noticed all of your hand studies. You might want to check out this book. It was my bible when I was studying the fundamentals of figure drawing. I still consult my old charcoal dust covered copy. Note: I don't work for the book company or anything, just a friendly tip from one artist to another.
Anyways, great work. Keep it up.
Thank you! I just purchased some watercolour pens and I'm still getting used to them, but they're a dream. They're made by a company called Akashiya SAI. Here's a link: https://www.amazon.com/Akashiya-Sai-Watercolor-Brush-Pen/dp/B000VZB51C
I also have a set of Winsor & Newton watercolour pens, but I honestly like the SAI ones better. (That and they're cheaper.)
Hehehe "tips"... I just read a blog post about people asking for "art tips" that happened to ring pretty true, although that guy presents it in a more grouchy way....
I just draw every day and take an active interest in art. Here are some of my favorite books:
McCloud
Loomis
Animator's Survivor Kit
Lately my big epiphany has been to stop punishing myself at every turn and just let go and finish something. So keep that in mind to have fun with it!
"I'll love you forever
I'll like you for always
As long as you're living
My baby you'll be."
It's from I'll Love You Forever by Robert Munsch. It's a story of a mother who sings that to her son at different stages of his life.
Fascinating! I like it. Reminds me of the cover of this book: http://www.amazon.com/Tokyo-Doesnt-Love-Us-Anymore/dp/0802141471. I'm glad you didn't draw op's Dad's head exploding though.
Can I recommend "Drawing on the right side of the brain" by Betty Edwards? The neurological stuff is a bit washy but the overall concepts and teaching to draw what you see are the most valuable thing I have found for general drawing skills.
http://www.amazon.com/Drawing-Right-Side-Brain-Definitive/dp/1585429201/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1406140554&sr=8-1&keywords=drawing+on+the+right+side+of+the+brain
It will take you a long way in a short space of time.

Thanks, this was done with a regular black Sharpie and a Zebra grey midliner highlighter.

I buying it. I'm buying it. Settle down. I just started reading comics again this year after like a 15 year break.
This is where I start right? http://www.amazon.com/Hellboy-Vol-1-Seed-Destruction/dp/1593070942/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1408649778&sr=8-1&keywords=hellboy+graphic+novel

It's from that one book, right? I can't recall the name but I remember the pictures. Something about an alphabet.
Edit: Aha! Found it.
