Would be nice if someone could plz tell me why this portrait just isn't good enough and also where I can improve to make it better? Cause it's been a while since I did a portrait and I made this one to practice my skills again for when I make a portrait for my brother's son. So i'ld love to know where and what I can improve?
Or maybe it's not such a good idea to make a drawing for my bro? xD
Ditto to April and Susan's comments, for this is very expressive! In a recent comment to me you said how hard it is to capture the personality, or expression in a portrait. Well, you have done an excellent job of that in this drawing Bernd!
Thanks for sharing this,

I feel real bad about this and I wish I could delete it?!
Still it wasn't that bad to upload it before I start drawing my brothers son, I have bought him a present instead.
If I make a drawing of his baby now then we would have to look at it like forever... And he's goin to make many children I think haha xD
Thanks all for your comments, I will improve my skills on hair maybe it's because I don't like drawing hair or the hair must make the person so special. Also I will try to improve this one first before making another, like improving the lines and maybe put some more work in the shades and highlights.
I know now it's not a bad drawing but I have to keep making progress en put more effort in some details, other details are good but still overall it can be improved on everything but especially the things mentioned here. Most important for me were and are always the eyes and I wanted them to show anger, depression and sadness at the same time, it's not very clear but I think the eyes don't need very much improvement, still it must be better. So I have to learn to focus on things I find less important and put more time in the things I don't like :P And also keep progress on the things I like and the things I find important.
I love to get these constructive comments more than 'wow' cause it's very stimulation to do better next time. (don't get me wrong I think wow is a great compliment, but this work just isn't wow xD) hehe
So thank you all again!!
