I like it but think you got the eyes wrong. they look a touch to thin. Just my opinion though.

it all looks disproportionate to me. Your shading isnt bad, but not good. work on getting the proportions right on the face, as well as some depth to the eyes.

ill have to agree with JTD
its a good effort though
keep practicing, and make sure you do your best to make it look like the photo
eyes are the MOST important feature :)

yea i posted this almost a year ago lol, now that i look back on it looks horrible. it was done in charcoal but i now use oil paints to help with color choices and blending. might actually redo another monroe portrait in color this time.
