[Vesuvius]

this deserves a response, it's pretty damn good, though I'm not sure of the perspective on the chin (it may just be me though), I also think that while the skin may be shaded and colored well, the next step will be for you to try to show skin texture deviation and any scars/hair/etc. that will add age and realism. very good one, definitley above average, keep it up!

[Frosted Flame]

I agree with Vesuvius in that the chin is slightly "off". I also agree with Vesuvius in that this is a very nice portrait.

My only suggestion would be to use some harder strokes. Me a little more aggressive with your brush work, it sort of looks a little smudgey right now. The colours are great, and the values are well chosen - I just want to see some harder edges.

Take it easy,

to be quite honest with you, I have a wee bit of a crooked chin =\
