Vision & Originality
-----------------------
First of all, the pose selected is excellent. There is some motion to the way his head is positioned, as if it is turning towards you. Wonderful choice.
The lighting of this portrait is interesting. Between the highlights on the left side of the face and the shadow on the right cheekbone, there's some good contrast created on the face.
The background looks good, and the darkening on the top corners creates a nice atmosphere yet isn't exaggerated. However, I would have liked to see a little more movement in the background. It works on the right (behind the back of his head), but I think that it should be a little darker as it moves towards the bottom-left corner. More shadowing on the left would give this rather bland background a lot of depth.
Technique
------------
Your execution is largely perfect. There are just a few things I'd like to call to your attention:
-His eyes look a little plasticy. It could have to do with the way the highlights are blended; I'm not sure.
-On the bottom of his leather jacket, where it is bordering the background, there is a white, glowing outline.
-There's a significant glow on the bottom of his chin. Also there's something going on with his neck right below it.
-Towards the top of his head, the hair is just black. No strands visible. This could be the way the reference is, however.
Impact & Conclusion
------------------------
Overall this is a phenomenal work. Your technique never disappoints, and the reference works very well. Great job Franco.

Why the 4-star ratings on vision and originality?

the vision, because of how smooth the blending of the medium is as well as the light that hits his face and gives more depth.
Yes this is a drawing of Jensen and a lot of people draw him, myself included - but this side profile of his face can be hard to draw.

There's no not liking it - I said it is a hard angle to draw because of his features as I have done it before. I love this drawing! To be able to get that profile right is amazing.

Haha I actually meant, why 4-stars instead of 5-stars? What was detracting from a 5-star rating in those categories?

The hair doesn't look very textured or blended in the darker parts and the direction of the shading on his face doesn't flow the same.

Generally speaking I accept any kind of comment, and when someone tell me it's not a drawing I take it as a compliment. The drawing you are talking about is still available, so, if you want to buy it, you can see with your eyes if is real or not.
