Nicely done, Mara! I like where you've placed his figure on the paper, and the dilineation of his musculature. Beautifully rendered, especially considering the roughness of the paper texture.
I do see some details that I think could be improved, however. Check them out and see if you agree:
Run a ruler along his left eye (our right) and then extend it to the other eye. I don't think the two eyes line up with each other. And the shadow in the one eye area seems a bit dark.
The nostrils appear to have a different tilt than the tilts of the eyes and mouth.
His right upper arm (our left) appears to have an indentation in it that may be overemphasized and may not even be needed.
I can't see the hands too well in this photo, but I'm wondering if the fingers would benefit from more of a hint of the bones and knuckles underneath the skin.
I hope you find these suggestions helpful. I know I'm always asking my artist friends to look at my work and critique it so that I get the gift of an extra set of eyes, so to speak. The work is good. I think it can be even better with a few tweaks.
