Side-note: I caught this drawing out of the corner of my eye as I was browsing a deviant group. It was featured in the "amazing artists" section and this was the art piece my eye was drawn to--and justifiably so.
In terms of originality I find this piece quite interesting in the fact that Will Smith has his eyes closed in a tranquil manner. His stance, the muscles on his face, and the shading all resonate a very calming atmosphere. Unlike many portraits, which are depicted from a side or frontal view (with open eyes), this portrait 'deviates' from the norm and sets it apart from the rest.
I thoroughly enjoyed this artwork, especially the artistic technique involved. The most striking feature (at least to me) is how perfectly you were able to depict his hair. It's life-like, almost as if I can reach out and feel the prickles along my fingers. Very rarely do I come along to find art as intricate as yours.
What can I say about vision and impact? What else is there to say? You captured everything, if not more, of Will Smith. It leaves me breathless, or rather as if I had drawn breath for the first time, and from that breath I hope to hold to myself for a very, very long time.

Skill:
The skill in this piece is brilliant. The highlights and shading gives definition to his skin. I love the cross hatching and sketchy effect. Yet, this makes it very realistic.
Position:
He is perfectly positioned. It is a cool pose and the way his features really "pop" out from the page. There is a great balance in the picture and the features are not out of place at all.
Originality:
His pose is a very original. It is nice to see celebrities drawn in an odd way... rather than a standard portrait (full face, eyes open).
Overall well done, it is truly amazing. I'm jealous.
