Jean, this is a very good drawing. I'm glad you're posting your work and I hope you'll remain undaunted. You sound disciplined and focused. Don't let anything, be it rejection or indifference, stop you from creating your work.
I believe that the only way to achieve improved drawing skills is to work from life, as difficult as it so often is. Two hours is a short time to create a portrait, but it can be an eternity to the sitter. That must be a good man you've got there.
