Man, you're killing it with those figure studies :D
I also love post #148, those colors are fantastic. Love the first portrait from the previous page as well (the one you said you did in BnW and added colors later).
Your last pencil portraits from memory are lovely (#144), but have you thought about adding some darker shadows to define face shape more? What I mean is that, for example, the shadow where the hair meets the face is generally darker than shadows you find on the cheeks, or that the shadows that define the insides of the nostrils should be darker than those that you find on the outside of the nostrils.
You did this perfectly in post #82, those Loomis head studies on pg. 5 of your SB. :)
Anyways, your work is awesome nevertheless. Looking forward to seeing more!
