Doris, you have really made this look dramatic. I especially like his brow between his eyes and the hairline. Great feeling portrayed in his expression!
Wonderful work. Congratulations on your progress.
Thor

Doris,
Nice work, Interesting face with great expression, perhaps reflecting thoughts of some sad past memories.
