Great to know you still didn't give up! Sadly I have no clue about charcoal so I have no idea how you do it so I can only cheat using digital to advise here is how I would change it.

Trim the lips on the left a bit and make the left corner inside of the mouth dark to make the teeth less flat. Make the skin a bit darker around the eye and make the eyelids a bit lighter, then make the eyelid curve upwards. The goal is to give the sphere-sitting in a hole feeling stronger for the eyeball.

Make the left side of the lips slightly darker since the light is coming from the right side so they are in shadow. Add a bit of a line to the corner of the mouth, the mouth is generally not 100% lips after all, there is a subtle little corner to it.

Other random ideas is to make the cheek a bit puffier becasue her cheekbone seems flat, the neck slimmer and more curved in and you can generally add more tones to the hair where it feels to be facing towards the light You can add a few highlights spots if it is possible (dunno how you do it with charcoal) to the eyeball's right side and the inner corner of the right eye those are wet and reflective points and facing the light source.
