5. That's why I liked it. It's there, but in no way draws your attention

I like stuff that is "discovered" after one has looked at the main focal. In your drawing one is immediately drawn to the furrowed brow and shaded eyes seeking distance. The nose and surrounding lines.

Then I look around for detail that is often lends itself to the drawing in a way that makes it real. Your forehead made me say less is more actually.

Again very nice.
