Here are some pointers:
Don't be afraid to get dark. In this art class I took 4 years ago they called it teenage shading because it was never dark enough (I don't get the connection but w.e). There needs to be more variation between blacks, grays and whites. I could be wrong if this happened because of the scan quality.
My next point would be to have variation in line thinness/ pressure. Take for instance his entire figure. It's the same solid line. I think if you used less pressure on the folds of his clothing and his clothing in general there would be a sense of depth.
Other than that I think you did a great job. Especially with proportions (that's where I have trouble).
Keep practicing!
I want to go dark, but the only thing is is that I'm afraid I'll have messed up and I can't erase it or something. I tried to go as dark as the original asked for but I also used the "tissue smudging" technique around the areas that needed it, as I'm not a fan of lined shading, but rather fully covered and seamless shading.
Thanks a lot for the tips!
Go light when you start and know that 'this is the way you want it' then go dark. That's what I do at least.
True, I agree about that type of shading.
No problem!
