Newbie stucked with a realistic character

Hi everyone!

First time posting here, looking for some advice of this amazing community. I need some help and critiques of a project I am currently doing.

Here is my first attempt to do a realistic character, a vietcong girl.

I was inspired by the kubrick’s film “full metal jacket”, specifically by the sniper teenage character that appears almost at the end of the film. Although It’s just a reference for the topic, because I didn’t try to recreate the same character.

I've been working on it on my free time for more than a month and now I feel that I am not happy with the results. I've been watching this model for so long and I don't know what is wrong and how to improve it.

I would like to know If there is something wrong with the anatomy or If it’s something about the face or just the composition.

All the opinions will be very appreciated!

I think the eyes are making her face looks off. Lowering the upper eyelids and making the iris smaller might help. Right now it looks like she's looking upward.
