Toxicpanda - Thanks for the comments, definitely want to get a few more portraits under my belt. Really hope that it does help when I'm drawing characters from imagination cause right now all the ones I try just seem really kind of 'wooden'.
I've had pretty much no motivation at all over the last few days (Something which happens fairly regularly due to long term depression) so haven't managed to get any proper studies done. But I did manage to get this portrait done this morning, I've been meaning to do this for a friend of mine for ages but never got round to it. Hopefully I'll get out of this lull soon and actually manage to get some studies done, I really want to start painting a bit more from life rather than just reference photos.
