Fedo: you're right. Some of these I was kinda inventing the shadows a bit because I liked the rest of the image. It's a trap!
Dark: you may be right. I will give selectively texturing a try next time.
These next few heads were an experiment in understanding texture brushes. I always end up with a mess with these. I asked some friends about it, they say the canvas has to be huge. I was working at 6k by 3k. Zoomed way out so the final image should be ~16% zoom. I doubt the problem is technical. Any suggestions here are welcome.
I did use a texture brush on the monster guy baring his teeth, but only as a very initial step. I went back to using hard edge, digital brushes after that first stage.
