Level 2 simplification (before demo)

@chrisdzy
Feeling defeated on this one. Realistic proportions are a weak point for me but I feel I’m understanding it better with simplifying. Any tips/critiques please? I’d appreciate it a lot. Thank you.
Actually your drawing looks really nice, you even managed to get a good likeness.
The issue you are having is "seeing" the values correctly.
For example: you rendered the hair dark- that's good- but if you look at the reference, the shadow on the side of his face is as dark as the hair. You rendered it too light. The left eye is almost completely lost in the shadow, but you rendered it much lighter. This is very common with beginners so don't feel bad about it, just make sure you compare the values you are rendering with other values in the image. Hope that helps :)
Another helpful comment, thank you Steve. I even added a background from thinking back to your help with the last post I made :) I will be trying again and will focus way more on the values over the shapes! Thanks again! :)
