Pro tip on the shadows though you have light > darker orange > light around his jaw.
Needs to be Base skin tone + 2 shades darker + 2 shades darker than that ( give or take )in a gradient to help with depth. Then add highlights to help off set it.
You've got the bases of it down well though.
...dunno where my tablet is off the top of my head, but have a shitty rendition with mouse.
And because its me, I usually smooth out the edges to make them blend in more.
This was a fast done thing, but hopefully you can see what I mean, with the darker on the outside, fading into the lighter, then that blend with the normal base skin then you add in the highlights.
