glad your posting them, to be honest i don't really like either one of them, are you sure your reference matches well, if that's messed up your sure it's never going to end up looking good!
The plane modeling attempt head is way too wide i think, it's important to start it low detailed, once you have the right shape you can start adding details. When you are using plane modeling and add geometry to the model in say the front view, always be sure to adjust that geometry in the top and side view too! It seems like you have forgotten about that in some places, so the model ends up looking really strange.
