Ok, I tried redrawing your original design and I came up with a few things that you could use to improve your drawing skills.

1) The face shape is incorrect. There should be indents by the eyes and curves for the cheeks. Start with a circle and work off that for where to add the right lines.

2) You did good with the teeth in giving them individual character with the cracks and chips and such. You shouldn't be able to see past the teeth at this angle though (not unless you are about to get bit or if his mouth is open etremely wide). And the blood shouldn't be in pools on the teeth. Blood is a liquid, and should be either staining the teeth a yellow-red or dripping between the teeth like drool.

3) Your horns still need work. I googled "Ram Horns" and came up with these. note that the curves dictate how the tatoos will go. Speaking of which...

4) The face tattoo is well designed, but makes the face look flat because you don't take into account the shape of the face when drawing it. The tatoo lines should curve around the curves of the face.

5) He doesn't have ears... so I added generic pointy ones. (That's not as important as the rest of my points, but the dude does need to hear, no?)

Basically try looking up some tutorials on face drawing. The whole process of starting with a circle and so on makes all this much easier to understand. And PS, I like your design. The tattoos on his horns was a nice touch. It might be better if they were shaped like demonic runes though, but this design matches the face tattoo much better. Who knows, I might just ink this later if I'm in the mood :)

try more shading on the face. use the skinny cheek bones, it makes the drawing look cool. i would also say somthing a little less complex on the tatoo on his face. maybe try making the pupil of one eye white on the tatood side

Interesting additions, but shadowolf pretty much covered everything I was going to suggest. So instead, I drew my own out of boredom.

No prob dude. It was kinda fun actually; I never did a face tattoo before. Just stick with it and get the basic shapes of the face first before you try the harder, less human stuff (and feel free to PM me anytime for advice).

Hmmm.. the shape is much better, but the face itself is set too high. Basically take a look at the pic I did and notice the faint lines that I used to proportion the face. A face basically starts with a circle, with the eyes lining up along a center line and the jaw lining up juse below the circle.

I gotta run out soon but when I get back I can show you how to proportion the face a lil better. Its a lot easier to explain with diagrams. For now, try reading this tutorial so you get the basics.

right, the tatoos look better. when you get color on it, try making the left eye a shade of grey
