:: I'm sorry if it may have offended, but all I was really trying to point out there was just possibilities of areas that VKliza would probably like to work at if the goal was to actually sketch with exact proportions. I'm really sorry for the comment though!
Honestly, the shading and the overall image is really outstanding, which is something I probably forgot to make note of. The shading is really nicely blended, making the image really natural. Keep up with it! ^_^
I wasn't sure what was the goal of the illustration, whether it was creative portrait or was it supposed to be an exact portrait attempt. Sorry!

It wasn't offending at all! @-@ It's just like you're saying: you're only pointing out that I could improve the way I'm drawing now and get better! You're comment and advice is much more usefull then when people comment it's good or something like that and don't point out what they don't like about the deviation or what they think is wrong about the deviaton. So your comment was really usefull! Thank you!

This is a really good attempt at drawing G-Dragon. It's really nice.
::TIPS::
As an artist, it's a little hard to notice what's wrong making it look slightly off, but it's normal! - In this piece of work, there is the following...
1. JAWLINE - G-Dragon does have a jawline, but it's not that outstanding in most of his images, but it makes a big difference when it's in drawing.
2. FACIAL FEATURES - His facial features don't take up that much of his face in his images; rather, his forehead should take up more of the space-- AND a little lower. ^^~
3. EAR - his ears are slightly lower in reality, thus in the image his ears are slightly higher and smaller as well.
::AWESOME!!::
The detail in the hair and its shape is great!
Overall, it's a really good job! -
Keep up with the good work!

Thank you very much for these tips, I appreciate it because I want to improve badly! >__< (that's why I joined these lessons of course...) For now I am pretty satisfied with what I have drawn though.
As to the first tip: Well, actually, I did gave him a jawline, but one part is too black now you see: the line from his ear to his chin. I colored that black part with graphite and couldn't erase it anymore! (I didn't notice I was drawing with graphite untill I noticed I couldn't erase all the blackness. 
I will keep practicing as much as I can thank you again!

Hmm... I don't agree with that assessment on this piece- not all portraiture has to be photo-identical; actually, stylization such as this is preferable in an art piece to being a human photo scanner. The most important thing is that it somehow reflects their views of their subject, of who they are, their personality, or in satire. Consider Picasso's portraiture work... the people he painted would be in seriously bad shape if they actually were like that in real life, however for artistic expression of them...
Nice hand with the lighting especially... and after browsing quite a few photographs of him, I'm noticing that you chose a very difficult subject to render- he doesn't seem to have a broad range of expression in the shots I've seen, making it harder to capture the depth of who they are personality-wise. Since you're studying portraiture, why not challenge yourself with a subject that has more expressive eyes to portray, so your instructor will be able to give you pointers on capturing the spark in their eyes? That can be one of the hardest aspects of portraits, and if you're able to capture that "something", you can take a lot of artistic license, really push those boundaries and create your own vision without being photo-identical.

Well that's true as well, I am clearly not a human photo scanner. But I did trie to copy the picture as good as possible though. And everyone has some kind of hand (way of drawing) what could be seen in every drawing he/she makes, and this is my way of drawing.
I never drew G-Dragon before so my first attempt has come out considerably well I think.
So you're saying I have to choose an example with some more expression in their eyes, someone with more character? That sounds wise, the picture I used of G-Dragon: he clearly is a bit zoned-out, with no expression at all. But I have gattered some more examples to draw and I have some with more lively eyes among the examples, so that will work out great. My instructor said to me I maybe have to draw some old people, they can have much more expression and are something else to draw then regular adults. Another piece of advice of hers was that I have to draw heads with perspective e.g. tilted a little up or down, that would be some harder studying material.
Thank you for your piece of advice! It really have helped!
