Hello, this is my first portrait after completing the first part of my course. Could you please give a feedback? Thanks

I think his eyes may be a tad too big.
Overall I think it looks great.

Hi @Ilza Lima, congratulations on completing🎉! And nice drawing! You have captured much of the likeness and I think you've used the shading well to show the three dimensionality of the head. I'll do my best to help you further:
- I think you might appreciate this video Mind-Blowing Realistic Shading Tricks. In it Dorian Iten talks about the importance of having a clear separation of light and shadow. By simply darkening the shadows, especially at the ear in this case, you can bring even more three dimensionality to your drawing.
- If you're looking for other courses as well, I would strongly recommend the Figure Drawing Fundamentals course. In it you'll learn important concepts like gesture and structure, that can bring your drawings to the next level.
If you want to learn more about shading, Dorian Iten has a course The Shading Course – Fundamentals of Realism, Light & Shadow which is great. (It's also avaiable on his website with a monthly subscription https://www.theshadingcourse.com) I would especially take a look at his lesson on How to Organize Values . You can get that lesson for free in the Proko Course Sampler.
Hope this helps :) Keep up the good work!
