Nice image, just a few crits. The left side of his face appears to be at a different angle to the camera compared to his right side, making his face look like some sort of mask that has opened up from the left, but only slightly so don't worry too much about that. I think what might have happened was that you drew a curved vertical line for the center of his face and then fallowed it but without perspective so all his features turned out looking like they are facing forward. Know what I mean? Anyway, regardless; the nose also appears to be missing a part of its anatomy.

Overall I think you did a good job with the color. My only suggestion in reference to that particular aspect is to start out with bigger brushes so you can get an overview of the tones.

Everything else looks nice. Keep drawin,

Peace :eat:

The chin looks strange to be. Kind looks like I could pull it off.

meDrawUC: I think I see what you mean. I think the right side of HIS face needs to be darker in value over all - including his hair by an even greater degree. I'm going to do a rework in a few days- after I finish my new painting - to tighten the eyes and redo the hair, I'll try to fix up the overall tonal values at that time too. Thanks!!!

L.Scrub: Thanks! 1. I noticed the extra baggage too. I'll make a small adjustment when I rework it.

Nose: I'm hearing various things about the nose, but I'm not really sure what's wrong with it. I'll take a closer look...

AnarchyAo2: Maybe the 'crevices' are too deep?
