Late night (photo)shopping

I stayed up until 4am practicing a few things. I'm a bit frustrated with my progress at the moment but I'm going to keep working through it.

I think because I've been trying to practice human faces lately and I thought I was improving but when I did these last night, I was struggling. These took too long and still look cartoony and stylised, it's really something I want to work away from.

Random sketches/studies

I rediscovered felt tip pens... all these years I've had them and never really used them, but I appreciate the strong black ink after using a pathetic scratchy ballpoint pen!

Male and female skull comparison

Skull comparison from (Reference). I think I over-exaggerated the differences :P they look like skulls from different species!

Anatomy Sketches 04

More anatomy.. this time taking a lesson from Loomis's book, Drawing the Head and the Hands.
