Hey jo people,  here are my submissions for the assignment, I spend about two evenings on one piece, my most obvious weak points I think are the hands and feet.  Something that I really need to work on is keeping a consistent edge quality when working with a textured brush, as I find myself losing control more often than not and getting a muddied result in the end. I hope you like my pieces and feedback of any sort is greatly appreciated.

Hi Jon, really loving this course, I have a question regarding what brush you are using in the 'Grey scale Painting process tutorial? I downloaded the brushes just trying to find the name.
