Getting the foundations right
Hi, I'm also a self-taught artist who later became an apprentice to an oil painter here in Singapore.
I agree with Sharon and would go for her suggestions because they did help me build a strong foundation for my paintings. For what it's worth, I'm impressed with the accuracy of the features you did, and that's a wonderful start. I'd be encouraged to work on issues like tones and values, just to give it a 3D feel.
I can't remember which thread it was, but there is a demo of a portrait of a fireman here in the Forum, which exactly has tips that could help you work on your portraitures.
Hope this helps you out.
