That´s a pretty cool piece,i can see you have very good painting skills but you can improve in some points.
The first thing you should have done is alternate between hard and soft edges a little bit more,it creates more interest and separates the materials.
You should check out some of this videos,they´re pretty good (www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7pj__… ).
Maybe more saturated colors (like you did in the eyes,that was a really nice touch) don´t be afraid of experimenting!
I like his expression but you could have pushed his face some more,to make the expression even more dynamic (this guy helped me a lot[www.youtube.com/watch?v=F51CVG… ]or if you want a more "anatomical" tutorial you should check this guy videos[www.youtube.com/user/sinixdesi… ) this covers pretty much everything i had to "criticize".
But got a lot of things right,like the composition,background and specially the hair;omg this hair is awesome;Overall its a cool piece 7,5/10 good work.

Thank you so much, I want to improve so this is very important to me.
It seems that I have a bit of a problem with desaturanting colors... The picture is set at night so I thought that a bit of desaturated colors are alright since people usually see black, white and gray during the night. I will try other tones (maybe blues and purples).
Thank you for the advice and the tutorials about facial expressions. I do have to work more in order to be able to do facial expressions, and for them to seem organic...

wow, you did a really great job on this! i’ll start by saying that the textures on his clothes and his sword are both very well done, i also really like the aesthetic and ancient Japan feel that this picture has. some constructige comments i’d like to add are that maybe some more detail could be added to his hands, and his eyes could be lowered a bit. while i do like the background and the mood it gives off, it also looks a little blurred and could use a bit more detail and brightness. overall, this is a really well done piece!! you are very skilled with realism

Thank you, I would try for more sharpen edges next time. I placed him in a nighttime scene which is only illuminated by fireflies and maybe a fire somewhere nearby but that was about it for source lights... I will have to experiment on with source-light during night-time. Thank you so much for the observation.
