I had a breakthrough when I decided to just bite the bullet and enlarge his photo and place it over my drawing, to see if i got the proportions right. I am always surprised how well I can get proportions by eyeing it, but it's never perfect. But I won't cheat by tracing. But the technique made me realize I made his nose too long so after comparing proportions, I turned off the layer and redrew from memory. I think it's a much better likeness now.
