After watching the demo I attempted my own drawing so I can compare it. I would still very much appreciate any feedback :)

Really solid drawing. Reads immediately like Clint! I think the one issue I'm seeing and as Devon pointed out, is your value hierarchy isn't super clear. Part of this is the tricky nature of this reference. Mr. Eastwood is in some desert location with the sun beating down, and reflecting a lot of light back into his face. This makes the reflected light very light, and somewhat confusing. Take for example his right lower eyelid. It looks almost as light as the left, but I would argue that is all in "shadow" As an artist, we get to make these decisions to help tell the story better. My recommendation would be to shadow map out what is in shadow and what is in light and make sure there is a larger step between the two. Keep it up!
