That's a good normal looking male profile. Take a look at some of the great Andrew Loomis' books for proportion/anatomy stuff. You might find this one interesting since it deals with faces and hands, and shows a wide variety of facial structures and how their profiles are composed.

I've found that when shading, blend the skin tone with a warm purple or a dark orange (depending on the ambient lighting) for shadows, as just darkening the skin or using brown/amber/black often just makes the person look dirty or sooty. Here's a good exercise to practice skin tones.
If it breaks, you get to keep both pieces.

The eyes are too small, and the nose is very large. This is all considering it'll be a normal aged person.

To be fair, we could comment on your models and be nitpicky there, but I think we'll refrain. That said, there are beady-eyed people in the world with enormous shnozes, I don't see a thing wrong with it.

Seems like Genki has removed all doubt about whether he knows what a Goatee is or not.

Terrific work Zul, real inspiration.

Looks good, but the ear looks like a gaping hole, and needs to be properly shaded. Other than that, it's amazing, I wish I was that good with color. X_x

Looks good, but the side of the nose is too dark. The side of the cheek is at a steeper angle than the side of the nose, so either lighten up the nose, or darken all the places that need to be darkened.

He looks scared-- Very scared..

I like it-- wonderful use of shading for the most part, and the hair looks perfect

He looks like a frightened lumberjack-- He needs an axe and a flanel shirt.
