Eneas, your drawings and paintings have improved tremendously. Here you have reason to be excited in regard to your accomplishment. I am sure that you can see room for improvement and this will come with proper study and practice.

As for the critique, your over all proportions seem accurate, the size of the head and limbs fit with in the structure. The color/value is good but there is room for adjustments. The head is quite well done color/value vise but the highlights, especially in the eyes, seem to bright. Now if you compare the color/value in the head and you compare it with the color/value of the torso you will notice that the consistency is lost, the unification. Sometimes when we paint we concentrate so much on one area we forget to look at it as a whole and that is why the consistency of the fall of light is lost. Do you understand what I am referring to? Then again the lightness of his body skin can be lighter than the face skin. I believe, even without seeing the model, that you have it a bit to light and this could be the reflections.

Again this is a grate leap in your work.

All the best to you
