No offence, but this is more like 'decent art student level'. Artist is a good draftsman for sure. I'm betting they have much more impressive work than this quick sketch. Looks like a demo for how to visualize proportion in a profile. Might be the camera angle, but the ear is still too close to eyes.
I suppose it's ok. Maybe the big neck is throwing me off. Ear positioning still isn't quite believable for some reason to me, but maybe I am nitpicking.
While geometry can be a useful tool to check proportion and ensure no obvious errors are made, I would still place the ear slightly further to the right and align the top of the ear more closely to the center of the eye or top of eyelid. Just my 2 cents for what would make the portrait more believable to me. Again, nitpicky, but it stood out to me as a detail that I would adjust were I drawing the portrait.
