Updated 1/15/18 updated image with scanner
Duration: approximately 5 hours and 40 minutes
Medium: HB, 2B, 4B, 6B (and I forgot them in the picture again. )
So, better late than never. Even though this one was complex, I was surprised when I calculated the time it took. A lot of time was spent on his shirt with the strange designs and his wrinkles. I had a blast with his features. His eyes and their sockets were so unique and his mouth was a lot of fun to draw. It was more fun working on the outline of his wrinkled face, too.
Mostly, while I was working on this I kept thinking "Damn, he looks cold and that looks like a harsh place to live."

Compostion: Needs significant changes to garner improvement. The negative space is going to waste here and distracting. The shapes of the coat, scarf, negative space shapes, and facial shapes all need refinement. The focal point is basically dead center of the cheek, not ideal placement. Potential improvements: Place focal point towards the eyes. Establish a background and atmosphere for subject, otherwise this is just a ID photo shoot. Explore the shapes in the clothing and hair, and maybe repeat the pattern within the coat elsewhere in the composition (that would be bomb actually, i'd give you a 5 star originality).
Value: When I squint my eyes, this entire piece ventures very little into the full spectrum of potential values with poor transitions into planes. Because the negative space is your brightest value, your focal point suffers tremendously. Face is flat, because the value is flat. It deviates maybe two scales from baseline. Analgous value rules are simply this: any three values clustered together within the same band will effectively translate as "quiet". The face is quiet because of this. If you want it to be the focal point, then create the drama, push the values through multiple value bands. Look up the 10-point value scale.
Warm regards,
