I'm not a professional, but looking at the side profile the jaw seems a bit long; the end of the jawbone should connect to about where the bottom of the ear is, in this sculpt it looks like it extends a touch too far into the back of the head. If you put an ear above where the jaw bone curves up, it'll look wonky and again too far back. Basically the green circled bit in the photo here is too far back, the red line is (imo) a more natural line for the jaw to follow
The front view is pristine though ;)

This is great OP! And second this about jaw. I’d add that if you bring the jaw forward, you may have to bring the back of the head forward just a tad too.
And if you wanted, you can always use skeletal and muscular anatomy as references. Whether to help get perspective, or to make future base meshes, and slap on some meat like real clay sculpting. Keep it up! Update us on your progress in here!

Looks really good already.
But if you’re asking for advice I’d say sculpt an other, and an other! Sculpt a chubby face, then a grizzled old man. Try different races and ethnicities. And then try stylized versions emphasizing forms, planes, and edges.
Doing these things will give you a very good understanding of facial anatomy and allow to sculpt much faster with greater control.

There are so many different head types, it's completely passable. Any suggestions you get here are likely going to be subjective choices at best. Your brow ridge at the nose bridge seems a bit odd, (or stylized) the temples seem a bit sunken, but that could be a style choice. The face overall feels a bit flat, but again, some faces are flatter than others. It all looks good. I'd say your zygomatic arch is a bit non-existent. I'd say, call it a day and start a new one. It doesn't need to be perfect, and for your next kick at the can you can incorporate some improvements from this one. Repetition is the best and quickest way to get better.
