was sick at home..
anyways decided to draw a guy for a change
had a photo ref
but i had trouble with the colors and the angle
had to re-adjust many things
i don't know if its a good thing that when i draw people
even with reference they still don't look alike!
sometimes its too long, or wrong angles
maybe its the way i'm drawing thats wrong :(
i tend to focus on details too early in the drawing
but then again it may be a good thing cuz i will end up
drawing from my mind of what i think is correct :p
so anyways in case you don't know
the guy above WAS supposed to be Bao wei
but i gave up and added the hair, the mole and ear-ring
anyways i think he's nicer with glasses :p

That's a very very very good attempt Juz!
It is important to draw realistically first before going into the abstract, so I'd suggest to continue trying.
If you tend to go too much into details, try drawing on a really small canvas size. So small.....that you literally cannot add the details and thus your mind is forced to work in general forms. Work fast, get rid of the image, then work on another. This also forces you to ignore details. Work also with big brushes.
Detail is a dangeruos thing. Anybody can do detail, but most artists have difficulties getting the main forms right.
