Asked for help
I followed Stan drawing in each stage as a guide at some stages I copied what he did and other times I tried making my own attempts throughout. It ended up a bit weird with a mix of smudginess to set tone and using lines for shading highlighting the plane changes.
If anyone has any feedback on how to improve and what to pay attention to while practising on other portraits it would be appreciated. Thanks 😊.

I really love the expression in the eyes in your drawing, and the lost details in the shadow areas. All good choices. The nose feels a bit long for his face. A good rule of thumb to follow is the 1/3rds -- the hairline to the brow ridge, brow ridge to the bottom of the nose, and bottom of the nose to the chin are all about equal measurements. Mixing it up by following along with Stan and also going off on your own to experiment is a great idea. Keep it up!
