I know, he looks.......ummmm...... like he's dead.
Still, kind of dramatic...

Phew...I am glad you said it! When I first looked at it I thought, "Oh, poor dude!" Good to know he is alive and kicking :)

Michelle, I wouldn't put it that dramatic:), contemplative maybe?
It's easy to fix - less shadows around the eyes, or make the rest as dark as the eye area. Put little light spots in the pupils (not in the middle). Good luck with it - you have a good beginning!
Maybe not exactly dead but contemplating it perhaps. It's still very good.
Very dramatic.
I like the way you've gotten the lighting.
I don't think he looks dead. He does, however, look like he's in the depth of despair OR perhaps it's a bad case of the swine flu?
***Seriously, there's something about this that I really love. His face and expression is captivating. It's a very emotional piece, and I want to take care of him:(
And, I don't think it needs less shading around the eyes. I don't know if the model posed like this, or something within you wanted to draw him like this. But, it is an expression of your artistic style. I don't go for following rules! Or cookie cutter art. (And, I can tell you don't either.)
I remember the class, he was a serious looking guy and kind of depressed....I just seem to have exaggerated his expression really.
I like it, it talks to me

yeah..i think depressed is the word.
but real in human emotion.

I dont think he looks that dead..but he looks tired and maybe a lost look. I really like it.
