Hello there! I'm here from  Project Comment and I'd like to give you a bit feedback!   

Your drawing instantly catched my eye, since I really like how you colored. Only black and red is a quite nice combination, I admire how you managed to blend it in so naturally on the nose. While on the eye it's really strong and I think it gives it a nice touch somehow. I'm sure it would've looked great if you used more of the red, but that's just a suggestion c: I think it would have caused him to look pale and spooky, which is cool.
The anatomy of the face is very accurate and I think it's well drawn, there's nothing I could criticize on that. Actually that's one of the things I love the most about your drawing! And that you decided to make him look directly at us gives the picture something unsettling, at least I think so. For sure it's much more interesting that way than if he just stared blankly to the front^^ You didn't really add reflexes to his eye, so it seems dead or dull, but I think that's what you wanted and it's not bad at all.
What you could work on is the shading. Don't get me wrong, the shading is in all the right places and you seem to know what you're doing, but you could've made it a little bit stronger to define his face more. Another thing I noticed is his hair. It's kind of scribbly, especially the beard, which would be fine if you had done it consequently. But on some parts it has a clear outline while on others it doesn't. It's not that conspicuous but I noticed it after I studied your picture a little longer. His hair is very messy on the front, but yeah, if you make it messy or very neat is your choice I guess ^^ What I would change though is the form of his head. It seems to be a bit too wide, if you know what I mean. The light reflexes on his hair are fine, but like the shading I would've make them stand out more.

I hope this was kind of helpful and I hope I wasn't too picky^^ Your drawing is really nice after all.

Loving the touch of red-- really completes the image. I love the expressive quality of his eyes and the set of his chin.

The reed is very effective, putting life into the drawing. The shading is subtle and really conveys the contours of the skin, and the directed pencil strokes for the hair give it realistic texture. The darkness of that 2B really stands out and makes the image pop.
