you have talent, but youre not glider^^
try to make it "cleaner", maybe by using finer lines or using a rubber to smudge the lines. Also, the eyebrowns could be darker. That would be my guess, not like im an artist or something :D

White-Ra looks like he has a tumor (not a creep one hue hue hue) on his right jaw. I suggest making a much straighter line from the ear to his chin.
Other than that good job, better than what I can draw for sure XD. |

Looks good for a sketch! I'd suggest fading the shaded pencil lines with a finger to give it a more natural shadow. But since its just a sketch you don't really need to.  |

A good try my friend, but it needs work. You've got the start of a good drawing, just work it. You have establish your darks and lights. Right now there's not any real distinction between your lights and your middle tones. Either hit the darks way harder or incorporate some white pastel in for those highlights and leave the paper to act as your mid tone. As you've seen in Gliders pictures, he reworks his pieces to get that next level of finish and detail on his work.
Good stuff, you're going in the right direction. |

I think this is common with a lot of my stuff, I'm self-taught so I rarely work to the level of pros, definitely working on this. I think it's the reason iamperfection sees a problem on his left-side, I wasn't clear enough with the shading on that jaw. Only have a HB pencil, thinking of investing in some charcoal to be able to smudge and that, has been a lot of fun to experiment! Thanks for the advice guys! |

I actually feel like some of the "imperfections" make this portrait very intriguing, almost Van Gogh style. I like it. Some color to this portrait would also be interesting as well.
Good job nonetheless! |

Not bad.Pretty solid all around.
Becareful of the tendency to subconsciously straighten things out when you draw. Feels like certain parts are tilting one way (ear-to-ear, jaw, neck tilt) while the center features are being forced to align(looking head on). I have problems with this too esp with people whose features angle up and down, its easy to confuse the angles. Also the way the chin goes into the jaw on his right ( the dark side) seems like its missing some volume or something. |

3FFA I'm talking about the shaded side, which has problems because the shading was awkward due to a rim-light sort of lighting condition that I didn't render too well
