Ray, you have a good image here which shows you understand this medium well.  The subject looks a little scary to me but this is artistic licence.  One thing I notice in the way of constructive criticism is that if his eye lids hood the eye ball, there would perhaps be a touch of shadow cast on them.  Usually the whites of the eye on the shadow side of the face will be darker even in the whites on the shadow side.  The same is true of all the whites on the shadow side. You have both form shadow and cast shadows to consider.  This is "turning form". The lighting appears to come from in front when I look at him unless I consider how you shadowed the hat which then makes an incongruent problem for my mind to wrap around.  I'd take a piece of neutral grey paper and cut a square 4x4 and put a small hole in the center.  When you use this to look at the whites on the subject as you draw, it becomes obvious just how dark the whites should be and you can adjust them accordingly.  This will strengthen your realistic drawings.  Even if you make up a person, this knowledge will make your images more believable.  I hope this helps you.  Keep drawing.  :) I smile as I look at this picture too because it reminds me of my dad who used to put a stocking over his unruly hair at night and make scary faces to tease us.  The eyes and nose are his.  LOL.  :)
