    o: this is looking really good, amazing studies, but it think you should practice more on your sketchbook stuff.

    Your last portrait, she looks like that girl from Skins, can't remember her name

    Great studies, that guy in a car is really well polished!

    BTW: how do you get urself motivated to do all these studies? I can't force myself to this kind of stuff, only drawing from imagination
