Gave it two tries with the range 4H, 2H, HB, 2B, 4B, 8B. The softer the pencil, the harder to get a even tone. Might have to try again on a paper with less texture!

4, 5, 6 and 8 look awesome. Great job! With the others, be careful to keep the box flush with the "corners" of the head. There are some where the box extends beyond the plane of the head that it represents. Also, try to follow the contour lines using the angle of the brow to the top of the ear and the angle of the bottom of the nose to the bottom of the ear as your guidelines. Hope this helps :)

Partial entry, 01-10 / 40.
Note to self:
- It's kind of challenging to loosen up after I have had a good session with portrait drawings from the last project, but this is fun, my muscle memory is still hanging around at the previous project.
- In the pictures where there are more than one seal I tend to easily run out of space in my composition. I try to do some very simple lay-ins to make safe areas for my self to work in, but even then I tend to exaggerate the gesture enough to not have space for the other seals.
- I feel like I need to actually study the gesture more. Especially for the 3 first poses. I think I tend to go too quickly into CSI-mode and approach this project like the simplified animals-project. I know it's still a good approach to go with CSI, but I need to actually focus on what pose I want to show before throwing down the simplified lines.

Another one.
Went all-in on eyeballing for this one. Guess I got too hung up about the minor shapes in the front of the face, so it totally went over my head that the side plane of the face is way to wide. Took approximately 1,5 hour.

Went more or less all in on eyeballing for this one and tried to have a overall chill approach to the whole process. Also had great fun with the shading.
