It looks to me like you’re well on your way! I can already see Emilio coming out. The nose makes sense to focus on and you’re doing a good job with it.
Granted, fighting the tools along the way is super annoying. I say take a break and come back to it hours later. That often helps both the detach and come back with fresh eyes. And remember, you can only get more familiar with the tools from here.
Side note: As a beginner, it is too bad you’re not using Blender. We’d be able to offer more direct help if that were the case..
