Good start Gerhard, On your next one, I would take a little wedge out on top of the nose, and under the hat, back to the brow line, and not go straight up to the hat from the tip of the nose.
You are on your way to having a lot of fun.

Great first attempt Gerhard! I still don't find it easy to put a hat on a head!
