Awesome, dude! I was looking through your old work and you progressed a lot. You're handling better your shapes, you are designing your values with more intention and also your proportions gotten more consistent too. There's two things that I think you can improve. I would like to suggest that you study the Reilly rhythms to relate one side of the face to the other. There's a few minor incongruencies here and there. It's nothing serious, it's stuff that you'd get away in a comic book page for example, but in a portrait we spend more time looking at the face...so studying Reilly rhythms would help you lock the shapes of one side to the other. Studying the Asaro Head and the skull would help too and also improve your knowledge of structure. The other thing is how you're handling hair. Observe how more experienced artists draw thinning hair. I like to group the shapes and using a stump to create lost edges with the background. It's kinda the same thinking Stan uses to draw eyelashes (Review the video of drawing the eyes) But again, man. Congratulations. You worked really hard and it's paying of. Keep drawing and best regards

Excellent! I love the two-tone. Great progress. The shading course paid dividends.
