Male Portrait

The shaping of the face came out very well and the coloration around the neck. You did one of the hardest things when switching from male to female which is making the features strong enough to really make it look masculine.The part that I'm having a hard part believing is the hair. I think it's because the color seems flat to me. It doesn't quite have a natural shine. The coloring it has makes me think of very soft fine hair but the way it is positioned makes it look like you were going for a heavier thicker haired look. The beard in my opinion doesn't quite fit with the rest of his face. Everything else on him is pretty solid and firm and its much lighter and airy feeling. Also if you look at most guys who trim their beard that way the let it curve just around there jaw line instead of cutting it off just above. It completes the face instead of just being there. The mustache area looks more realistic to me especially just under his nose. The sides along his check seem the roughest. Well I don't know if any of that helped but its what I can give.
