Hey, Pillai

Really good work, I see you have a nice understanding of the portrait and I liked the look of the beard, One thing you can improve is your way of asking for feedback, letting us know what aspect of drawing or painting you are working on your exercise, letting us know what was your initial attempt will help us to analyze the subject and see where we can improve, otherwise is too much information to give feedback on so we get paralyzed in front of all the possibilities.

For example, in this portrait, you could have focused on the likeness and tell us to evaluate it so then we could check a photo of Joaquin and compare the painting with the phot0 and suggest you some changes,
that’s one example however your initial intention could be whatever you choose, tone studies, edges, composition, brushmanship,   etc

Thanks for sharing it with us ::)
