Glad you took my comments as helpful and not just critical...so many people don't take constructive criticism well, even when its not meant to be hurtful or destructive, but to help improve.

As I don't know the person you used as a model (be it a real person sitting for the portrait, or if you did the work from a photo), its hard to say if what I think is a 'cleft chin' is in fact not a scar or something else. However definitely alot of character and interest in the face...and for all I know, if you did use a live model (and didn't just come up with the face from your imagination) he may have an old injury that knocked things 'off center' etc. Either way, there is alot of interests in this picture...I wish I had that much skill in drawing. I used to be pretty good but long years of not really doing much drawing or painting has left me rather rusty. That and I am too lazy to spend the extra time needed to get things right...when in the past, I was able to get things drawn alot faster. (or maybe I am far more self critical now than I was 20 years ago)
