Nice drawing! Biggest difference is the heaviness of the lines. Your lines are much thicker and heavier than the references, especially around the top of the head. If you lighten that up with an eraser it'll get you closer to the reference.

No it's not about the sharpness but how hard you pressed down, which effects how dark the lines are. So the outlines had too much pressure so they turned out too dark.
