Hey Rye! Thanks for your feedback! I was wondering what was off with her face, after a while you get really blind to some mistakes. Thanks for pointing out what it was =)!
Good start to the sketchbook, and all of them made so quickly?! Wow, nice man!
Don't forget to do really long studies though! Especially the last one should be a longer one I think. It seems like a sculpture? And with those you can learn so much about value and form, and I think if you take your time to go further with the study you will learn a lot more. So far it looks a bit flat, so really take your time understanding forms here to make it look more 3-dimensional.
A tip: ask a lot of questions whilst doing a study. Why does the light bounce of the tip of the nose, but not from xy? There are no outlines in real life, so how does the light and shadow trick me into thinking it has this certain shape? (Especially noticable on ears! Shapy bastards.)
Speaking of ---- I suggest the books James Gurney's Light and Color oooor Loomis' Drawing figure for all it's worth for Values / understanding how Values make up a form. Those books helped me a lot!
Hope this helps =)
