Those improvements to your drawing from 2007 to 2013 are staggeringly tremendous. Excellent work, you must be putting quite the number of hours into your art pieces...unless of course you've got a tablet and been working for over 6+ years and have a ton of experience drawing.

The placement of details is well done (though very rough (as you always do. When are you going to use some soft blending brushes as well?!)) but the overall anatomy is off and the colors/values are way off in comparison to the photo. You used too much white which gives it a washed out look whereas in the original photo there's a lot of pinks and warm reds and greens. Construction wise it's an improvement to the superman study though.

Soft blending brush for detail, could you elaborate or demonstrate?
I think I still get throw off a lot in localized color/contrast. Relative warm/cold colors vs absolute colors always throw me off.

Not necessarily for detail, but I notice that you start out with a very rough brush for blocking in which is fine but don't be afraid to use a soft brush early on too. You can use a soft brush to establish some shapes and tones first, and then start detailing. That way you can have soft transitions of shadow and color while also adding sharp detail.
Take a look at this step by step of dave rapoza for example:

There's a lot of soft brushing going on early on to define mass (combined with some sharp rough brushing for detail establishment). Anything after that is further refinement.
