I usually draw girls because it's easier for me, but I wanted to do something a little different today.

as always, critique away on things I can improve upon.

I found you this scary but slightly more accurate anatomical reference

Also another thing: the sternocleidomastoid muscles in his neck would be much thicker and are flexed when the head rotates from left to right. Here's a couple of refrences for the muscles: reference1 reference 2

In the future I'd recommend looking at multiple references, because a photograph distorts and flattens the human body, a three-dimensional form that you are emulating. See if you could find a friend who would be willing to model for you and take a bunch of different photos at slightly different angles. Look at a bunch of different photos of the muscles you are struggling with, etc. Also it would benefit this piece if you added more dark values to his skin. Right now his gloves, armor and sword take away from his face because they draw the eye with the most contrast. When you are doing something in black and white, consider this: everything in the light is lighter than everything in shadow, regardless of local value. Here's a 2 minute explanation that will probably make your mind explode (it made my mind explode the first time I watched it, and its SUPER helpful!


Hope that helped! 3nodding
