Very nice set of studies, the last one is expressive with a good sense of the face’s volume. The expressions are excellent. I notice there is a lot of versatility in your rendering style, are you experimenting with what style of painting you want to perfect or are you bored? Do you have a direction you’re willing to explore, like surrealism?
While working with paint strokes especially with human figure I got advice to go against the length of the object and not follow it’s flow. For exemple, painting the nose, to not put the paint brush strokes from top to bottom but instead follow the rotation or defining volumes by faceting it from the sides. When following the flow of the drawing with the paint strokes it might flatten the painting.
I’m looking forward the continuation of this series!
