I think it’s ok that the hand is darker. It appears to be in shadow, which lets us keep our focus in the face.
Agreed! Which saves me a lot of typing.
The hair is interesting, too. I prefer the sharper and more detailed right side... but the softer left side does throw focus on the face. So, it's just a case of where do you want the focus to stop.
I'm really pleased to see this finished. If only because there are bound to be extra lessons learned from seeing the entire image. Like the dark hand, for example, which proves that what you might think is an "error"is, as Laurene said, actually a benefit.
I keep thinking
if you can do this with little to no experience, what on Earth are you capable of!? 
I'm really eager to find out.
Thank you Mike
It seems that the potential error, can be seen as committed move ~ it’s really helps, the opinion of the artist like you, Laurene or Linda
Thank you
I’m keeping in mind lessons learnt on this one, and I’m happy I did listen to you dear friends, to finish this artwork
I’m richer now having an additional experience !!!
The hair Mike ~ you prefer the right side (from our perspective) cause it’s the way I’ve learnt from your lessons of negative drawings
I remember the way you was showing how to draw the grass …
This technique I saw on YouTube too, where the tattooist was showing how to deal with long beard structure ~ this was his approach
The left side I did softly shading the ends of separate strands, making them from shadow to light …
Thank you for keen words
