I must agree with Alex, it's looking awesome but the ear is a bit high (and I somewhat feel your chin could be larger, so the orientation of the face is more readable). Keep up the good work, I'm willing to see moar!

I was advised to start over with a better reference.
So I did:


But I see that I didn't construct my portrait carefully, so this time I'm spending more time on construction...

You seem to have a pretty good start and I think you will make some really awesome portraits once you refine and practice!

I made a little edit of the face



I think your ching needs to come out like 2 pixels.  The eye on our rights a little weird, and I just changed a few other small things

EDIT: wow imageshack jpegs images now?  even all my old images that used to look fine are jpegd now.  Guess I have to use a new image host now, wow.

I think the face looks pretty good, though the forehead seems kind of short.  Though the neck and body arent too good, Id go and fix that first.

Ya I noticed your images are hosted on imageshack, as are alot of other peoples.  So Im not sure why mine are all jpegd all of a sudden.  Do you have some sort of premium account there or just the normal account?  Just the very day I posted that image all my files became jpegd, even the old ones that Ive had uploaded for years that were previously fine.
edit:actually it seems its not all my files, just the more recent ones.

what I'm working on now

the perspective of the chin is a bit off; in the ref it has a smoother curve + and is larger.

it's really fun to watch your workflow on these :)
