maybe try some lighter outlines on the lips so they're not so "out there"... they also look huge in perspective to his face. You don't leave him much of a chin and jawline where some shading could be added to it. His cheekbones look odd somehow too... I dunno. Maybe I'll try it myself and show you what I mean

okay here is my rendition of this... of course I do the lighting differently...

and a larger version you can see more clearly what I've done:

Sooooo...

The eyes: I've added dark shade surrounding the eyes to give them that socketed look. The eyebrows I've extended to kind of surround the eyes

The lips: Smaller and simpler is better sometimes. took away the dark lines and gave it some softer ones which made space for...

The cheeks and jawline: Moved the light up on the cheeks closer to the eyes. Drew in a jawline to give definition to them. Also, some shading from the nose down under the cheeks.

The chin: I've extended the goatee so it looks like he had a chin

Of course, these are just things I would be doing and I also use a mirror technique which is prominent in pretty much all my pieces... just my style... and it makes lighting and shading a snap.

Questions? Did this help?

It's interesting to see how working from someone else's work sharpens your own skills.  I'll have to screw around with pixelblink's template sometime too.

The hair needs some work though... less dithering and more highlighting

I find instant messangers to be truly annoying... I can't log on without a million ppl sending me PMs. Just pm me here and that'll be fine
