I like the soft details you've shaded into the face. Great anatomy. Since the light source is coming from the left, it may have been better to shadow the right side of the background. If you were looking to emphasize the left side of the face, you could do light shading there with darker to the left of the head.
Great sketch.

Thank you.
The light was coming from both directions; the black was the black background of a portrait behind it, so it was kinda confusing.

This really looks refined and realistic in my opinion. He does have the striking features of a nobleman and I really like how there is an aura of strength to him. Very nice work overall.

I think you're getting pretty dang good now! The reflected light under the chin is sweet and the cross hatching background is a good choice i think. Things that may have issue (maybe, i'm not pro on this stuff so they may be false red flags in my mind) is the hair - lighting seems off? and the neck thickness - seems a bit too thick maybe? The right eye may be a little too large in comparison to the left (perhaps an attempt at perspective? but its not that far away so the size difference would be almost unnoticeable perhaps? ) I'd love to see your take on some of the Da vinci style human form studies as some of those are awesome and right up your alley!! thanks again

I agree about the neck, and the hair I darkened the hair at the back for contrast. The others, I have no idea. Thanks for the feedback. Now I need to get my hands on DaVinci stuff, cos that's a jolly good suggestion!

For a sketch you did a great job with the shading and lighting! Everything is nicely smoothed on the man's skin and facial features. Keep up the good work!
