Hey Modoman!

I think the picture looks great. I did notice though that the right side of his face is in shadow. The left side seems to be in contact with a  light source. I also think that maybe some stronger ( light to dark)  tones might help overall.   I think that looking at your sketch, it would imply that he was in direct sunlight.

Ha! unfortunately no:) Just keep doing what your doing. Your definitely on the right track! The drawing looks nice though.
