Description Happy 2016! 
I originally started drawing this because I wanted to see what Reave would look like with a beard and a cap... but as you can see neither of those things happened. Also tried something a little different with the shading. Not sure I'm too happy with how that turned out but quite pleased overall.
I think this is one of those pictures that turned out better than my skill level usually allows. Just sort of a one off that I probably couldn't replicate even if I tried for hours and hours... meh. My try Chrome next, she could pull off a snapback I think! 

Reave has a really awkward smile. Which is why he doesn't do it much.

The shading looks really nice, I like his expression!
I was wondering if you had any tips/advice on male face's? I have been practicing human face's a lot, and proportions as well. But I always seem to hate how they come out, xD.

Thanks so much! I'm glad you like it! 
Ah yes, humans are a pain in the ass, but faces in particular are a butt. 
My only real suggestion is to use references of real people. When I first started trying to draw people I used references from my at-the-time-favourite artists and it really messed up my sense of proportions and whatnot because they were all stylised. So yeah, real people is a good idea. Pintrest and Tumblr are excellent resources for this kind of thing. 
If you're looking for dudes in particular this is a tumblr I follow, though be warned there are a lot of half naked men on here: lovingmalemodels.tumblr.com/
Also this image with the places of the face can be quite helpful with figure things out: warosu.org/data/ic/img/0016/87…

Otherwise it's unfortunately just the long, long process of practising!
