Photoshop Design 1 wip

[SirSeraphdeFallen]

Hey guys just thought i'd throw this out there. It is the final assignment for my design 1 class. we were told to use all the techniques we learned during the course to make a self portrait. i referenced a photo my wife took of me last year. this is the piece after 2 hours of work. the outlines was made in illustrator (although it dont look as smooth as it should) and i am coloring it in photoshop, because honestly i hate illustrator. we used a book in class and the teacher basically just said follow the assignments in the book with no real teaching from illustrator. most of the class was art history and some basic design assigments.

Critiques are welcome, and any advice would be greatly appreciated. the assignment isnt due until may 8th, so i have a labout a week to finish it.

Due to file restraints i am posting the reference picture and a link to the file i am working on.
