Composition 7/10 : the drawing has ''the barbarian feel'' in it, so that's good. The axe is horizontal tough...that's sad. Very common composition mistake; if you would have made it 5 degrees above horizontal the composition would have been better. Also, even if it's not superbly drawn, I like the hair/beard and the look on his face. The composition suffers a lot from the inappropriate shading tough.
Technique 5/10 :
1.torso is too large
2.legs are too wide apart
3.Assuming that you didn't want to do realistic shading, and that you wanned to make a more concept art looking barbarian, I don't blame you for some of the shading mistakes. But there are some places where the shading definitely needed to be semi/realistic, like where the girdle is supposed to wrap around the torso, cause right now it looks flat...which isn't a good thing, even in a concept drawing.
4.there are some places in your drawing where it is hard to distinguish lines which again, isn't necessarily bad in a concept drawing ,but there are some places where it's necessary, like around the axe handle. Right now it's too messy.
5. On the other hand, the dark sketchy manner with which you make your lines is really pleasant. It somewhat compensates for some of your mistakes.
So for a quick resume: plenty of mistakes everywhere that hamper the potential that this sketch could have had, but it has the ''barbarian feel'' so it's not that bad.
