Thanks Vic, The guy at the top I definitely messed up the vertical proportions. I actually measured the original to be about 6 heads, but I wanted to try and apply my loomis studies and put into 8 heads... he came out too lanky, and not wide enough at the top :) Lessons learned!
In the last page I worked from top to bottom, so I feel like they got better as I went :) The first two used ballpoint pens for shading, I didn't really like the messiness of it. After I shaded with the ballpoint pen (I probably over shaded those two) I used a grey brush marker to ink them, then I used a white gel pen to do the highlights. The third guy I didn't do any ballpoint so he looks a lot cleaner, but sits a bit flat. The last guy I used a black pencil for the shading, and was my favorite of the lot, I'll be doing more with the black pencil :)
