You’ve also widened his face just a bit–still anatomically plausible but perhaps his stockier cousin. The space between the eye socket on our right and his sideburn is noticeably too wide.<\/p>\n

The tip of the nose needs more attention. You’ve shifted into a pre-conceptual symbol for the nostrils–a great lesson you could learn from this drawing.<\/p>\n

Great job emulating his hatching, which underscore the planes almost like the chisel marks on a sculpture, but your values wander a bit. Your center forehead is too dark while the upper lip and underside of nose are too light.<\/p>\n
