just a 2 day test, maybe 1hour sculpt and a few hours render +skin testing. i wanted to try and get a grip on darker skin shades as oppose to the middle aged white guy. it started as Rza from the wu but i played off that as it progressed. 
Photos are too dark - It’s hard to see the first one - Looks like to much contrast on this skin - too shinny. Your heading in the right direction though… keep posting.

ok another render. i havent had much time to myself so just played with settings and re-done the eyes. as always C&C always welcome. im having some difficultys working out the normal map, some artifacts around the right eye and right sholder.

i dunno what your goal is, but if I were you, I would seriously sit down and work on the fundamentals of human anatomy before even getting into the rendering process. rendering is definitely important if you want to create a good image, but right now, you have a lot of work to do on the basics of human figure. even if you had a photorealistic skin shader, it would still look very strange. unlike rendering, getting anatomy down isnt a matter of adjusting sliders and settings until you get a good result, its a matter of lots and lots of practice. keep going
what did u see thats out of whack in the anatomy?
quick sculpt of a hand, because its late and im in one of those moods that just needs ur mind to focus on your fingers for an hour or so. hehe.
