Faculty Portrait (wip) - Portraits - Community Driven Art Feedback Platform

So I’m not sure if this goes here, I’m thinking it might go under composition, but can’t find that option. This is a work in progress for a project I’m working on, I’m looking to add a couple more characters and scenery both in front and behind of them. Basically I’m just trying to figure out what would be the best way to continue this without making it look crowded. I’m working with traditional means, (am looking to move over to digital at some point) so am a little hesitant to continue without ruining it. Thank you for your time

Character design help

Been struggling a lot recently with the design, especially the mask. I’m definitely happier with this design but want more opinions on it as I feel it doesn’t quite look how I want? I want more of a soldier like look while keeping the sci fi feel since it’s futuristic/supersoldier setting. Thank you for any advice!!!! 💚 (Also I’ve added a few things since I drew this, but not much)
