Two and five minute sketches. My focus started to wane at the end a bit.

The line weight of the shadow block-in is making the figure harder to read, esp the male figure on the 6th page. But otherwise, your sketches are great.. such improvement.

[Post TWO of TWO]
You can't upload more than 20 images to a post so I had to split them up. A competent person would've maybe ordered them correctly, but I have no claim to that adjective. Some of them are way too light. Sorry.
My gosh... the level of detail! You can really feel the hair looking at these, its' lightness, heaviness, smooth and textured, you even have wet hair. Very well drawn, quite something to tackle.
And of course, one cannot leave out the mullet. Really wonderful work.

Here are some gesture drawings from the last few days with a couple random bits at the end.
You are so versitile. Love your doodle characters too, they look so interesting.. all looks like they have their individual stories, i find them beautifully weird.
And some very nice practices of gesture.

Bean practice this morning, followed by two minute gestures. I'm throwing in progress on one of my current master studies for good measure. This kind of covers the breadth of my studies right now.
You draw some real good looking beans too. And thats a great choice of master study, that angle adds a cool dimension to the scene.

10 second gestures.
Okay, this was pretty ridiculous. I found my self laughing a lot as I fumbled through them. Still fun, though.

I am having one of the worst drawing weeks of my entire life. My hands are trash. I have essential tremor always but it has been unhinged this week. I am house sitting so I don’t have a scanner and everything is awful. You’ve all been sharing such fantastic work I feel obligated to balance it out with my failure. I’m just struggling. Raving over.
If those are the works from shaky hands, then what you think is a curse may be a gift because i think your drawings are great. Even all the doodles you have accompanying the portraits, I really like them. Keep them coming pls :) And actually I can see from your drawings that all the facial feature practices you did is paying off. Kudos to you.
I esp like that Day 2, bottom center head, great work on the expression and how you stylized that.
And some great practice with the gestural poses too.
Also, maybe experiment using brush/ fountain pen, something to emphasize those special lines you’d only get with trembling hands. That may be interesting to explore.
Btw, not sure if you’ve heard of Phil Hansen before, if not, his talk titled “Embrace the Shake” is worth checking out, on youtube.

Twenty second sketches.
This is a bit of an experiment to see how fast I can get a gesture down. When doing urban sketching, where models don't sit still, this is a practical concern. There is tension between how long I can hold the image of a pose in my head and how fast I can get it down before the image evaporates from memory.
