I've been mucking around with different ways to draw faces - I still need to work on accuracy and placement of features, but I don't want to become rigid and characterless in my work so am trying to exaggerate and interpret in order to add some feeling... these were 2 minute scribbles from some life drawing references.

I saw this photo somewhere and really liked the lighting - something about those glowy edges you get from things in sunlight combined with cool midtones...

A few more colour studies

Colour and value and stuff!
