Please not that this is still a work in progress.
So, I'm new to this style and I am truly in need of ideas on what should I put.
This is my first time doing this kind of style.

it will be a good head i guess
what program did you use
for the wip 8,5/10

GIMP, I will do a pirate head from it.

gimp?
wth can you teach me?

I can explain it, but you need to try it by yourself
Try experimenting with the tools.
I learn it by myself.

Remember a lot my head.
Use strong brushes, look better.

^ exactly what i was gonna say
teeth shading is bad; looks like they're going deep into the mouth

the shading is terrible. i'm sorry.

it's just like leo's head.
and it seems you just use drop shadows on shading.
if you can make it a lot better and different than leo's, it would looks nice

Outcome:
