I'm keeping this simple.
V showed me a picture of this guy, I wanted to draw him, and so I did.
I feel like I could of done better if I printed the picture out.
Oh well.
My Tablet's pressure point died.
I'm mad.
P.S: I have never heard of this guy/band (Wednesday 13) before. I just liked how he looked.
This pic is dedicated to V, because she gave me a song in exchange~ Thank you, V~

pretty
Syldoran Says:
Nice. :3 My only problem is his nose, seems a little narrow at the bottom.
Sprite Killer Says:
Nice work. :)
I think his right (our left) eye could be moved a bit more away from the nose and slightly lower.
His hair is probably the best part - it has a nice flow to it :3

Such flowy hair :3 And you did very good defining his Adam's apple.
I don't mean for this to sound like I'm ripping it apart. It really is good but there's still room for improvement.
Buuuuuutttt.....
His eyes are different sizes and somewhat different shapes. I know in realism people have different sized eyes and different shaped eyes but it seems too obvious here. The position and shape of his head suggest he's facing forward but the shading on his face, mainly the nose to eye shadow, suggests he's turned a little to (our) right. It's a little confusing. You need more shadows around the eyes, and I don't mean pit them. Just some light but obvious shading that shows his eyes are set in eye sockets instead of being flat and plastic like (like a doll). The area between his nose and lips seems too long. That might just be him but there's this generalized proportion thing: four fingers to the fore head, one finger under the nose, and two to the chin. And that would be his fingers not your's. You should also show more shading under his bottom lip and somewhat curl the shading around an imaginary ball that forms his chin. This, especially being a man, shows that his lips and especially his chin protrudes from the face. Some deeper shadows on the outside and bottom of his face would help show shape in his face and overall head. Faces are very shapely with many planes to make up the bone and muscle structure, so there are more shadows and even wrinkles than what most people want to accept (even with the pretty people ;D )
Oh my God this turned out longer than I expected

I agree the hair, is so life like and wispy. I'd love to see the way you did the hair in this piece incorporated into your regular style, even just a little bit.
I also really love the shiny effect the metal has, really eye catching.
The biggest thing I see that you could work on would just be adding more shape to everything. The eyes especially you should spend a lot of time on eyes because that's what everyone notices first. Also, though, the line between the lips looks flat, and the head shape looks like just an oval, I don't really see the difference between his cheeks/jaw bone etc. It just looks kinda round. Him being a guy, it's especially important to shape and sharpen the features, because it looks feminine.
Over all, you have shading in the correct spots, but I'd make more shading and blend it in really well, for a more realistic touch. Even if it's simple and quick, just a touch more.
Also, I'd like to see you put as much effort in the facial hair as you put on the hair on his head.
That's all stuff to keep in mind for further realistic portraits. I hope it helps? :3
The only reason I was so critical on a simple piece is because I find realism portraits the best way to learn.
I don't mean to be overly critical. D:
