Description
I've never done a portrait before, so I desided to have him be my first. Criques would be awesome.Look him up on youtube.
Enjoy~

I think it's awesome 
Unfortunately, Dan isn't going to be on Youtube anymore because of YT's new rules and such.

Yeah but he does have a Blip.tv account called Norseforce Productions:

However, he's no longer going to be called "Danthenorseman" or wearing the helmet. He also plans to transition from rants like "video game Violent" or his school to political stuff.
I kinda miss him on Youtube but at least he didn't closed it

As you already commented while drawing it, less yellow and more pink hue(but that's something you'll learn to apply the right amount when using the right tools and experience).
Also, comparing to the reference pic you were using, I think you applied too much shadow around the eyes (same goes for the tips of shadowing on the teeth...too much shadowing and too sudden of a shadow on the teeth).
Also, I can tell there is something more that can be done with the tongue but I dunno what it is or how to word it. Just thought I'd point it out because you're always wanting to go to that next level.
Now for the section that I would say was your weakest in this pic IMO (yeah...hard to say it's the weakest because that is like saying Blaziken is outclassed by Infernape)...the hair. Granted, the original pic you're referring to doesn't distinguish the hair much but for improving the hair, the best way to go is individualize the strands of hair more. There are entire sections where it is solid color (and you know how bad that is for an artist to have solid color sections on a portrait, especially something as depth as hair). Also, it's evident the segments of hair you started with and ended with. The segments where you started have very fine, thin strands of hair and look fantasticly drawn, but as you are working away from your base point, it appears that detail fades/blends away.
I know how much you want direct, serious crit so I did the best I could identify because I know that is what you want. I know you probably see even more than I can see, but you still did a great job. I'm sure Dan is going to put this as his #1 fan pic.

Ah, thank you so much.
I have to say thou, for the hair it was pure laziness.
As for the eyes, at one point, after everythin was almost finished, the face wasn't blending very well against the helmet, so I sumdged it. Sadly the tool was a lot bigger than I thought, and it messed up the eye, so I tired to compensate.
As for the tongue, I'm as lost as you.
