Donnie Darko

There's an old guy who looks just like that, who shops where I work quite often.

i didn't know you liked old men

Pretty good, though Donnie's face looks a bit lopsided.

Good job on the coloring and wrinkles. I like it.

There's an old man everywhere in the world just like that.
Good resemblance to Donnie, and I like all the details on the old man.

Did you use a ref for the old guy? Or was it something you did while you were out?
The hair rendering for Donnie is a bit strange, I would've made the strokes follow his hairline/shape of clumps of hair. He also looks like he's got a huge head, which is due to proportion issues. The hood seems to float around Donnie's head; saying this, I haven't seen the ref.
You got some pretty good sketching skills, keep it coming!

Lol
You've captured Donnie's essence, but in terms of ressemblance it's not there yet, due to the proportions problem.
Two ways of solving that: practice and...
Ever seen artist hold their pens and stick their tongues out? Anyway, you take the top of your pen, thumb length from the top, and use it as a unit to build up your picture and proportions. From these "measures", you set out a grid (3x3 inches, for example). And you then fill with detail.
