This is a sketch i did and i liked the mildly disturbing presence of it, comments and crits as i finish this would be awesome. I'm still not sure how to post the thumbnail outside this post so if someone could help me out with how to do that also i'd appreciate it. Thx.

this is a really good start

But avoid the fine and neat details and mixing that with smudging.. stick to one style of shading... because it seems to be distracting from the main character the way you started the background solid and then smudged it out towards the bottom.

The face is pretty good, but the (my left) cheak seems way to strong and sharp... perhaps soften the shading there? Not sure what to do honestly, it just doesn't seem right.

The shirt and his upper body do not seem to have weight on the torso.. leg's are a bit skinny for the guys upper body.... and they aren't sitting right. Again, not sure why, but something is visually off proportion/weight wise. Perhaps another poster hear can point out what's missing (maybe it's just shadows and contrast.)

Working this piece out with more contrast, more shading, and stronger values would make for a promising piece.. the concept is excellent. I feel you've done very well, and as I can see it's come along nicely too.. it's just a matter of putting it together now.

good points, and i'll try to get to reconfigure the drawing later today, thx serena, i like the way the cheeks are rite now since theyre assymetrical from his sneer. But other than that point i agree with u.
