Thanks, I think I like it too, It was the first time in a while that I just followed the flow of my ideas while designing. I normally draw and go on different ideas for one character without really finishing it and I stay in a loop of idea and being unsure about if I made the right decision. What help me for sure this time, was that I had to clearer idea, I kept it simple and I didn't tried to over complicate thing.
Sure! first, for any studies I try to have a small range in my values and I separate and group the values with darks (not black), grey, and whites (not really white though). You can go watch Jonny Hall on the talent tree livestream, he talks about this all the time and he's explication helped me a lot. For the two bearded man, I just started with a grey background (50%) and black lines on a separate layer, I lowered the opacity of that layer to 30% to have a darker grey than the background. That set up my values range with the lighter grey been at 50 % and my darkest grey been at 35 %. So those studies were to see if I could play with a 15 % value range for the whole thing. I use a simple flat round brush with an angle on it and opacity and flow on in the transfer tab I think it had a texture on it but it doesn't really needed it.
