Sorry, I accidentally my last sketchbook, so I had to do a new one. I hope I don't annoy anyone with this.

Anyway, I'm gonna submit different sketches in this one.
Here I go.

Off to a good start. Studies are cool but make sure you're thinking about the structure of what you're studying and then try to draw some stuff from imagination so you retain the information.

I think you shouldn't worry so much about the single strands of hair. I like to look at Dave's April O'Neil as a good example of rendering hair: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v403/M...Rapoza.jpg
It looks super detailed, but he's mostly drawn major shapes within the hair and then drawn a couple single overlapping strands here and there to make it look more detailed.

Glad to have you, hope you keep posting.

Thanks, mdbauman! Well, I only used a reference for one of those heads and a couple of noses, I really hate copying, and I suck at it.

You're right about that! thanks for the advices, man! I'll give it a try! :D

Here's another sketch. Trying facial expressions out.

Phiew! Following an advice from mdbauman, I did a face completely without reference.
What do you guys think?

More comic-ish version of the same character.

It's definitely getting better! What I would recommend you, because of personal expiriences is, to get going with very basic drawings. It's boring sometimes, but it helps alot. Drawing and perspective is just the basic number one.

Keep going!

Thanks a lot, dude! I practice anatomy and color every day. Just yesterday I saw a good advice over here on why all that work doesn't pay off as much as it should.

Hey, thanks for dropping by my thread. May I suggest studying the structure of the head first if you are doing portraits. Portraits and faces are hard. I find them so difficult. You seem to be grasping it, but look at what lies beneath the skin. Study some skulls and some Andrew Loomis. Andrew Loomis will show you how to construct a head. Take your time. Stamina before speed....

Oh cool! I like seeing the same character in the different styles. You've created someone really recognizable. :)

Thanks, guys. I actually spend most of my time on the basics (specially the poses and gesture drawings) I guess it's just a matter of time right now
