Gorgeous. I like the background, love the color choices and having some very rough and some detailed areas. Won-der-ful. Thanks for sharing. If I had to choose from your portraits/studies this would be amongst my favourites - if not the number one.
Personal wishes if you ever do a re-paint or something similar:
- He seems to lean on a wall. I would like to get a better "hinting" of that wall with the right perspective fitting the way his body leans on that wall and especially where his head points too.
- Turn the whole scenery a tad more towards the viewer or away from him. I'd prefer towards. Reason for this: Painting the face at the current angle is very hard and it show in your painting. It's a little bit off at certain places (left forehead and the line nose-mouth-chin). Not by much, but the longer I look at it, the more I am certain of it.

You must have very good eyes I have to say
This one I painted based on this photo www.google.de/search?q=brad+pi… :
I havent paid attention to perspective on these study but since you pointed it out, I feel like I should do more about it. Its not really important for portrait but some kind of shot like this one, it will make a big difference
You re right with both points, I just wonder why the current angle is hard? Because of perspective?
I repainted it, put some light on the wall to create a depth and also the light source
Thank you very much for the comment!

I did a lot of photography over the years, maybe that's where it comes from. I can't reproduce stuff when I paint as well as you can, but I usually see, when things are "off" somehow.
As for the perspective - it isn't important, if it isn't there. But if you hint on a plane (in this case the wall) I will automatically place/see the person in relation to that plane. I was expecting the person to lean in a 90° angle (back and shoulders at the wall, supporting him as he's exhausted) and in the 1st painting it didn't seem to come close enough to that 90° feeling.
The current angle is hard (my opinion) because the face is about to turn from an extreme side view to an almost profile view. So it's easy to think of it and paint it with a "pefect profile" in mind, but it isn't. Very subtle changes everywhere near that "profile line" of the face have a huge impact on how "convincing" it looks.
With that in mind: it's a great portrait. Keep up the good work

ah ok i got your point of the 'profile view' thing. Now looked back and I realised its indeed a hard angle . But you know, when i dont know thing, i just do it
Thank you very much for all the explainations and comments
