Description
--EDIT--I fixked a few things that bugged me, and added more detail to his eyes. And i made a background with an eraser. You can't tell here, but the pencil is pretty dark in the original, so i couldnt go over it more. So i used my eraser ^^
--END--
Cloud, again. I find him eadier to draw, for some reason. I think its the nose (which i am getting better at doing ^^)
The hair, again, took me AGES, but I really really love how he turned out.
Tools used:

Kleenex
Sketch pad from the dollar store (lolz)
Time: 10 - 11 hours

love love love, I know how hard it is to draw cloud hair
I've got some minor critique for you though 
[link]
as you can see that starting from his eye, the cheekbone curves outward and the rest is straight (sort of)
third thing you could do is to darken clouds collar so that the contrast between the collar and his skin is bigger
Don't hate me

Thanks.
I know about his cheek, but i couldn't seem to get it just QUITE right. Its a difficult angle, especially since this is really only my fourth or fifth realistic piece.
The collar could be darker....but i couldnt change it now, im afraid to ruin it XD. Though in the reference (which has been lost in the hundreds of files on my computer) it was fairly light....though you're right, it should be darker then what i've done
Thanks for your honest critique ^^. I really do appreciate it.

I'm really glad you appreciate it
yeah the angle is pretty difficult, but as an artist you need to be able to draw anything right
oh I know what you mean about not wanting to change anything before you ruin it
it's good for a fourth or fifth try at a realistic piece
