that's a huge improvement over your last portrait.

I'd suggest using some darker, less red shadows nearer the edges to give it some more dimension, some of the edges seem like they're cut out of paper.

Hehehe, you always say "I'm actually quite happy with it" about your pics.

I really admire your ambition. You improve a lot with each new pic! At this rate, you'll be really good really soon!

Something I have noticed with all your portraits is that you use a diffuse airbrush in really strange places. Why does his mouth look all speckled like that? It looks like he fell in some dust.

I still suggest that you try and look at some anatomy books. Specifically potraiture in your case, seeing that is what you seem most intent on painting.

Anyway, big improvement!

yeah. thanks messybrain. Actually, I used a texture which looked quite good on Photoshop, but after converting it to a JPG mode, it loosed much pixels. I'm gonna fix it.

the main problem I see... I am not an expert but the teeth look as they are wrong in the perspective put... the middle two teeth are much to much to the right compared to the nose or the indenture of the nose and mouth area... this is acually an essay fit move the teeth a bit to the left to center them a bit. the Eyes also have some minor problems but it is not really that bad other than great imporovements from the last ones you made
