also, i think you should restart the shading on the shirt and trousers, since it currently doesn't convey volume.
if you're not comfortable about how to shade it, look up a reference you feel you can emulate. as usual, i'd recommend you not working on a black or white background, as it tends to make palettes pure and bland. giving the background a colour gives a context to your subject.
anyway, i hope you'll stick to finishing this!
Okay, I shall check into some ref's after my Composition class, thanks for the advice Chris, its very appreciated! And I definitely not let this slip as its for a project I'm working on thats a tad hush hush!
EDIT: I'm so glad I have a tablet now though, it makes this a lot easier for me, as it feels much more natural drawing rather than using a mouse.
