... Im sure you learned a lot in making this vector its overall very good... I dont think there are good shadows in it defining where certain things like the jaw line is a highlight, but should be a shadow it seems to me, and the eye socket area on the left eye is a bit flat to me, and the ear for example looks as though its blending straight into the head... perhaps try and define some of these areas a lil more, its an overall very good and clean vector, and you can post this in the drawing section unless you think its a design...

WELCOME to GFX, and I welcome you as one vector artist to another... WELCOME

Thanks for the tips Inabottle, I will take them into consideration when doing other illustrations like this. Also, I wasn't sure what to put this under since it's an illustration. :s

yah.. most vectors are put under drawing

have you played with the gradient mesh tool yet?
nice work
