Mary Anning | Face exploration

Whenever I design a character I have a tendency to start exploring their feature shapes first. There's something so mesmerizing about how a person looks at you and I wanted to explore the different options I could find on Mary's face. Even though there is already a portrait painting of her from the XIX century, I still wanted to try out my own interpretation of her "character", emphasizing her strong jaw (to represent her physical strength and endurance climbing those dangerous cliffs) and her attentive-to-detail eyes (smart and sharp, finding real fossils where we would only see rocks). 

I'm still not 100% sure on how the final design will look like but I think I'm finding some particular shapes I like here, which ones do you like best? I'll keep exploring :)
