Done with watercolor pencils. The original size of the first one is 7x7 cm and 5x10 cm the second one (aprox.) In both I used my face reflected in a mirror to understand the illumination. Hope you like them - and hope critics and comments.

These are really good, using the mirror worked because you're lighting is excellent. Overall i prefer the first, simply because it made me laugh, great expression.

Those are really great and the first one I found quite funny. You've obviously got some control over tone/rendering and I like that somewhat angular nature to the pictures. Probably more in the first image than the second but the ear colour isn't the same as the face. Not a huge point but was there any reason for this?

First of all, thanks for your comments, Iīm glad you liked them :).
Deadpepper: yes, first one is also my favourite.
Matt Elder: yes, I wanted a angular style for them, a bit sculture look. I posted a color pic with a similar graduation style, the tittle of the post was "watercolor pencil figure", take a look, I think you would like it :). About the red ears: ears turns red when you get hot -or is to heat? I donīt know the right expresion-, I wanted that look for the pic. Maybe there is too much contrast. I liked the effect, some people like it, some people donīt like it...

Dude. I love em. To me this is the style reveals people who truly understand the human face. You need a smoother medium though.
