Some Portraits

I've been a little slack as of late uploading artworks, thus time for some piccys'. Recently I've really started to focus in on the face and portraits. Below are some results from the last month, all drawn from live models in a bit over half a day. First up is probably one of the last tonal drawings that I'll do on white paper, takes forever to give average results:



Same person as above but slightly different angle



This one I was relatively happy on the final composition and the look of the picture.



This one is a little different in style to the above ones as they try to capture the light as it falls. This one, you draw lines wrapping around the form to describe it and not really worried about lighting. Not crazy about the result but wasn't having a 'good' day.



Now I just have to figure out how to get friends to sit for me .... maybe a sweetener, they could kept the final drawing.... any takers?!
