I feel that your artwork, while amazing in detail, does not have the same dynamic lighting as the reference.
On one hand, I enjoy the fact that I can see the whole face, and there is still its own shading, so it stands on it's own, but on the other hand, I feel like it's missing out.
However, if I think of it as it's own piece to begin with, it's awesome. Proportions are great, and the detail of the stubble and hair looks great. The fold of the cloth also looks amazing. The texture of the lips however look stretched, yet the eyes are very powerful and the glossy shine is perfect. The tones and shades are good, but I still feel you missed out to make it deeper with more dramatic shadows.
Lastly, I know his skin is wrinkled on his forehead, but in the black and white, I can't tell if its wrinkled, or if he's fuzzy, as the texture is so similar to the eyebrow. I know what you were trying to do, but had I not seen the original, I would have thought that.

Your drawings are awesome!! The final touch you need to make it super realistic is to use charcoal in the darkest areas, 'cause if you only use graphite, no matter if it is 9B, it will never show a real black scene. (sorry for my english)
