Hey...i hate it when no one responds...

Just wanted to say that i like your sense of form and the way you're using shadows to create form and stuff like that.
Something I notice though is that there are a lot of similar features in each picture like the lips for example. You may want to start experimenting with different shaped features, particularly the facial ones.
In the long run you may want to learn a bit more about facial structure and basic anatomy if you're interested in realistic sorta stuff...like most of the heads are simply faces without the back of the skull and stuff like that.

I like the way the pieces have a very solid feel to them. Keep at it :)

I really like these. they remind me of the great British graffiti writer Mode 2, you know? the chunky light & dark chiseled type form has so much style. :)
I don't think you need to realistic it up at all. that doesn't seem to be your point. if I were you, I'd continue with the facial form that you have down, twisting themt into the different expressions & positions. they don't need to be different, you just do different things with them.
nice nice drawings.

Thanx very much for the reactions! With these sketches I was trying to create a new style for myself. Usually I tend to go into detail too quickly, so I end up detailed picture with a form I don't like so much. So I'll definitely go on experimenting with this, but I don't know wich way it will go (Graffiti is certainly favorite)... I tried one of the sketches in colour; It's done in Photoshop, with a mouse (don't have a tablet yet).
