You lack the basic theory behind pencil drawing, even though you have some eye for contours.

I can't be arsed to explain whole thing but basically everything you see in pencil drawing is a change in tonality, while you rely on very soft contour lines. A part of drawing where there is no tone at all is reserved to highlights. Right now most of this guys face is seemingly in blindingly strong light radiating from 360 degrees around him so you can start by applying a background tone and toning the major shapes (pic related) before going in to the details.

You overthinking it. Just simplify your shapes. Head can be a box. Nose can just be a pyramid shape. Cut some portions of that box for the brow and eyes and so on. Then you can mold it and add more detail. Where'd you learn that method anyway? Don't tell me you're just winging it. There are already methods to draw the head. Just learn those and you'll be fine.
