Nice oils man. I bought some black and white gouache and Im gonna try and reverse engineer the gouache phase 1 course hah! So far I was barely able to make a value scale. Im thinking of doing a month of the painting course next year after I get a better hang of using paint. That way I can hit the ground running. On those head drawing where you're trying to caricature the person, I think you should first focus on doing a realistic likeness. People that are really good at caricaturing learned realism first so that they could distort what they see. And the most important thing about a caricature is the likeness. Try to apply what you're learning with the skull studies and remember the Reilly rhythms of the face.
