conte pencil WIP, first post

[cityworker]

Hello everyone. Here are some conte pencil studies. The portraits are from Loomis reference, the other two are WIP with reference from books or magazines. Please tell me what you think, and any C&C is good C&C. First post, I hope I didn't screw things up. Thanks.

The hands on the second one are phenomenal!
Youve got a great technique, everything looks real soft and lifelike. Something i need to practice more is modeling with only values like this. Thanks for sharing and please post more.

in the top pic each eye is looking in different directions making him look cross eyed.

Crawley - Oooops! Thanks, I never noticed that before, I need to fix that. I think the head of the indian dude is a bit small for his body too.
