Hey, @mil3s! Hope I’m not too late to share my impressions on your work. :) I think this is a really good drawing! I especially love how you designed the shadow shapes and how this conveys an overall sense of style to the drawing. I agree with @Grace Mounce, the way the hair volumes are simplified into light and shadow shapes is particularly eye-catching. Anatomical information is also nicely depicted across the drawing, in balanced and harmonious amounts of detail. I think all of this really makes your skills show through - great job! As to what would need to be adjusted, I second @RItesh Dhande’s notes: it’s mainly the proportions and size/distance relationships between the face elements. Not a big deal indeed for this drawing in particular, but maybe something to keep watching out for in the future. One more thing I notice and that hasn’t been commented before is that you handled the shadow edges in a way that makes them harder, especially on the cheeks and forehead areas. In Mikie’s (let’s pretend he’s a close friend 😆) masterpiece, the area of the cheeks has super soft plane transitions (thus, super soft shadow edges), and this makes David look very young and slightly chubby (which makes sense for the beauty patterns of the time). In your drawing, because of the harder shadow edges, the cheek bones appear a lot more pronounced, which makes him look older and perhaps a bit thinner too. Also, the forehead muscles appear to be slightly more tensed in your drawing compared to the reference, which adds up to the aging idea and maybe also makes him look a little bit more severe. If you made these choices intentionally, I think it’s fine! There’s no absolute right or wrong in art, and every work is open to interpretation. If these effects came out unintended though, just noticing them gives you the opportunity to either change them or keep them, depending on your objectives for this particular drawing and also practical convenience (sometimes, the piece is already finished or it’s just too much structural change to adjust this type of thing, right? If you think that’s the case, it’s okay to just leave it and keep a mental note for future work). Hope this helps! Best regards 🙌🏻

To start with proportions, check his nose, it looks a bit long, check distance Btwn hair line to mid of brows to nose to chin, u shall get the error.. check the top lip too... Compare with ref, u shall get the error.... Eyes n nose looks a little bigger, exaggerated... Anyway this is not a big deal, that main issue i see is the nose being too long, else shading is really good, u captured the form excellently....

Whoa this is amazing! I love how you emphasized the planes and made it look 3D. And I am especially drawn toward the simplification of his hair. If I were you I would push the darkest darks further, if you've got a softer lead pencil. And to me it looks like his face in your drawing is turned down more--as opposed to the photo, where he seems to be lifting his head up more. Maybe shortening the nose and lengthening the underside of his chin would help? I'm not sure. But in any case, I love this drawing, especially the structure!
