P.S. One last "drawing" point. If the shirt or jacket is hooded, then that part of the material would be thicker and sit on top of the shoulder. If this is instead a collared garment, I'd suggest moving the point of the color off the shoulder, so that it isn't directly in line with the shoulder's edge. Just a little movement would be enough to make clearer that the collar is in front of the shoulder and above the pectoral muscle (and, so, add some depth to an area that looks a little vertical and flat.)
