Nice but his eyes are too far up in my opinion, the way he seems it's like he doesn't have a forehead.

proportions are the biggest issue
big lips are big.
hairline is remarkably far back, sorta looks like a bad wig. but the shading on the hair is done well though
eyebrows are too close to the eyes, theres no bone ridge above it, the darker shade you did add just makes him look like a drug addict
ears should be in the same horizontal line as your eyes
nose is too short, should be closer to the lip
nose? where are the nostrils?

the actual eye and detail in there is done well

etc etc etc...

have a look here, a sort of tutorial/anatomy study

nice background though

The only thing I really have to say other then what other people have already posted is take a look at the roots of the front most tree. The roots don't seem to be right. They look as if they are not growing from under the ground up but from the grass up. Other then that great job. I know that this was you first time making a landscape/background and it looks great. I think people should look a little bit more at whats in the back of the person.
Great job

nice background though

Yea, I made the outline of the head terribly when I started, which threw it off when I went on to paint it. I was hoping people would more focus on the details in technique, and the background, simply because this is the first time I've painted an actual background, and the first time I've actually painted with colors. (normally I shade with dodge and burn, then add a couple color layers on top, this time I just went straight for the colors to try something new. The dark around the eye was actually a mistake at first, they eye was HUGE, decided to make it smaller, and chose the wrong color, smudged the color around so I could more easily paint a light color around it, but then decided it looked pretty good as it was (this was before I painted the actual eye).

Great Link BenD, I'm definetally putting that in my favorites, will be a huge help.

Wasn't meaning for him to be high, but I suppose everyone views a piece of art differently. I was hoping for more critique than that.

I see what you mean, and a little more shadowing probably would've fixed that, and yes, was hoping for more critique on the bg.
