I guess you know what's wrong on the left pic so I'll comment the right one.
The main mistake here - it seems your sheet f paper was too small for the whole head to fit in it.
I think that's what led to another - The ear is too close to the front of his face.
Next - it should be higher.
There are other proportion mistakes here... So I'll just gve an advice: Start a drawing with a form of a skull. You should study its form well.
Then mark all the proper proportions (you can look up them in books - there are so many of them - if you don't know something yourself.
And after that go for details... It's very important when drawing using a model.
I think I'm not the first one who is telling you this... but I can clearly see that you tried to start with the contour. Let me guess- on the left one you started with the contour of the nose )

But I do have a book on portraiture-with a page labeled 'proportions for the head in profile'.

Think I should have read it before?! Ah well-at least now I see what's wrong with it. And you know, now that I look at this and compare it to the book, it clicks!
