the eyes studies are very nice; try doing them in pairs so you get the spacing right.
I like the pencil strokes on the last portrait.
Do some anatomy studies. cheers

Another head

[CrownLullaby]

Your latest female drawing looks nice! I'd pay some more attention to the neck, it looks really thin. I think it should be a little bit thicker. Also, the right eye (on the drawing, left eye for her) looks a bit wonky. I like it though! The shadows are a nice effect. Keep it up!

For the old man: Shadows look nice, you've got some good dark areas. Try working out one of your heads a bit more, I think the result would be very nice!

@Jesus Masochist - Thanks, that's great advice. Doing eyes in pairs is definitely harder and very good practice.
@CrownLullaby - Hey Liesa, thanks for stopping by. I'll double-check the neck and eye. By work out, do you mean I should go darker?

[CrownLullaby]

I think your dark areas are doing pretty ok, you have a nice contrast. With working out I mean going a bit more into detail. Once you get the whole structure of the face, you can try pushing yourself a bit more towards detailed drawing!

I like your eyes, you can see the evolution. The middle pair is my favourite! Keep up the good work!

I like the eyes too!

[Little-Maiden]

great start, though I would start expanding from heads and including some more abstract exercises- gesture drawing and such. I think ultimately it helps quite a bit more than just sticking hard to one subject such as the head.

@CrownLullaby - Absolutely. One of the many things I want to work on is varying hard and soft edges...I am still struggling with charcoal.
@Brandon Pilcher - Thanks for stopping by!
@Little-Maiden - Thanks for the advice! I probably should try gesture drawings too.

These are some copies from AztecFireflower's awesome sketchbook. Esmeralda is my hero!

I did a couple more eyes today. Still struggling with spacing.

Hi again! Your eyes are coming by great. Keep on drawing, they are definitely improving ^^ Keep it up!
