The dark outer edges that separates her arm from face, or arm from background, or face/ear from hair. That's what I mean.
If you look the original photo, you won't see such dark edges.
It's common way to draw of course, and nothing wrong with that. But with shading you can avoid drawing those outlines. It will become then more photograph like, where the shapes are distinguished by shades and not hard outlines. It's more real that way.
You have used the shading in other places like her cheek and nose, and there it works very nicely. You only need to take it little further to get rid off of those outlines altogether. You are on right track already.
Of course, it's not necessary to be done like said. Since it is one drawing style to leave them there.
