Dear Leopoldo;
I like your painting very much. It is very expressive. This may be a gentle giant, but it is not someone I would want to argue with on any subject. Your drawing of the face is excellent and the spontaneity of the brushwork looks like it was painted from life and very rapidly, the brushstrokes also add to the rough personality of the individual.
The light sources you chose are very difficult to paint from, the very bright light coming from the left and the more medium intense light coming from the right. This lighting gives the darkest shades of the face at the middle of the face. You handled the face pretty well but the hair and the jacket would normally also get some of this light from the right.
There are two other things I would consider:
1.) the collar is not continuous on both sides of the head, the right side should come up or the left side down or a combination of both.
2.) The values look washed out or the paints don
