brown pencil on 4.4.12

I don't know whats up with this weeks sketches, but they turned out really good. With the gestures, I think opening up and trying to fill the page helped. During the last week, I crowded the gestures and the page layout didn't look as good as I expected. I went back to my comfort zone with hatching this week and the longer sketches turned out pretty well too. I needed more practice with faces, so thats where I put my focus.

brown pencil from 11.9.11

During this week I tried shading using the side of a brown pencil. I'm not sure if these sketches showed up as brown, but this color is punchy and richer than plain black. I would say that this week of sketches were pretty successful.
