Likeness study and all the process (WIP)

MrRobot

That's my first attemption on the complex likeness. So i decide to post all the progrees i've got so far, to show how shitty it can look when you starts, and where it comes if you keep yourself moving through the pain and eye bleed. Feedback are extremely appreciated, cos this work still in progress.

Nice job, thanks for sharing your progress! One thing I can't get over is the size of the iris', they are comically large. Now I understand if you're going for a cartoony look, it looks totally fine

Compare the amount of sclera (the whites of the eyes) you see to this pic of Tom Hiddleston

First of all thanks for feedback, i rly appreciate it! 
And yeah, i didn't want to go for stylized look, but i have to, cos that my first work and my task was to get feeling of likeness pipeline, i didn't want to spend days on tertiary details or skin shading. And iris size was one of the things to move it more to stylized feeling and thus say that this is not hyper realism.
