Welcome back, Ilaria! I always enjoy your work and I'm very impressed that you were able to complete this painting in one sitting. I like how you have kept his skin rugged and loose; personally, I like men's skin to be comparatively less finished than women's skin.

Two quick points: I would like to see more of a pupil in the eye on our left. I also think you should lower the value of the antihelix of the ear on our right, and possibly green it down a bit to push in back farther in space. And I know his head is tilted forward a bit, but that ear may still be too big for his head.
