I have no notes on the actual composition of the piece, which well overcompensates for the few anatomy issues that are present. One that stands out is the location of the crown of his hair. If your intent is for it to separate from the viewers middle left, usually, it's a line that goes from the hairline to the crown.

Your foreshortening works, everything else works, it's just the weird angle of the head, and where the crown of the hair is located on that sphere.

[edit] While i'm at it, i guess i'll make a brief swipe at the Klavier piece. You did bother to look at an actual guy with his shirt off when making that, no?

Guys have ribs. Unless he's a little plump, guys manboobs don't have a sillouette on the outside, especially when his arms are up.

But you are getting better. Proof being the looking up piece. What's the timeframe on the completion of that?

Wow. I'm shocked that you didn't lay into me about the perspective. :O I understand your points about the hair, but think it's harmless enough that it's not currently detracting from the piece. And, since he's channeling Spike Spiegel's hair style--apparently--it wouldn't do to make the part so well defined. (I guess it technically shouldn't be there at all!) XD

The Klavier picture is almost four months old. Forgive me when I say, "It's behind me, darling!" XD And no, I didn't use reference, except for the pose, which came from here. I already realize at this point that the picture is anatomically incorrect, but as long as the fangirls aren't complaining, I suppose that's alright in this case. XD

Also, I think it took about five days, working on and off in the evenings.

Close enough. I was getting impatient, and I wanted the 20K to coincide with my anniversary. XD

Popo, bridge of the cartilage of the ear where the glasses rest, that is normally aligned to the corner of the eye. Raise the ear a little.

Back of the collar bothers me. Have one or don't, but certainly not in between.

Head feels a little elongated for a third's view.

Intermediate stuff: Beware of tangents, especially on the end of a page. Compositionally, they cause the eye to lock unto them, so try to avoid them.

Otherwise, you have a nice solid style that seems to be working for you. Give us a call when you want to flex your artistic muscles. By that I mean trying something in that style that is challenging for you.
