His eyes and lips are a bit feminine, and his nose is a little out of perspective. besides that, pretty good drawing.

Here's something I drew 11 years ago when I was still in high school. Hard to find the time to do drawings now.

I understand... its something that takes alot of time to come out nicely.. What gets me about drawings is everyone has their own style and technique, and several people drawing the same photo would result in 7 different drawings, all with their good and bad sides, so its kinda hard to criticize... I usually dont comment on the likeness of the subject, but rather the technique.. What would be the fun of drawing if it were a copy of reality?

True. I was giving my opionions from an appreciator's POV coz it looks like you were trying to draw a realistic portrait. It looks very realistic except for some subtle things. Personally I don't like to draw real ppl coz it's too hard. I like to draw comics/anime. And of course I ain't no artist.

face is too small, not proportional. looks like a girl or a little boy. pretty good though.

Nice!

Don't worry about it not looking EXACTLY like him, that's not the point - it's ART and that's what makes it unique. :thumbsup:
