Indian Temple Caretaker

I just loved this man's eyes and crooked nose when I saw the ref. photo ([link]), and half a year later, I finally decided it was time to draw him. It was not easy, and I had a hard time getting myself to finish the drawing, but I must admit that I learned a lot and sometimes I even enjoyed it

EDIT 30.03.06
A few hours after I submitted this drawing, I suddenly found out that he needed a darker background in some places. At the same time, I corrected a few small things that irritated me.
