Pull back and focus on volumes and depth. Your shading is all over the place with an inconsistent light source and you're jumping ahead to skin texture. Just really really focus on volumes and depth. Break everything down into simple shapes and shade in the most straightforward way possible; no skin texture, no wrinkles, just basic smooth shapes with clear levels of depth. Once you've got that absolutely perfect, then you can texture till the cows come home. Also, a note about your speculars: in many (most?) cases it's appropriate not to buffer them at all. Try it and see.
Also, I really think he needs the missing half of his head. EDIT: This is all referring to the purple face. ------------- |
