I switched from the Tombow to Faber-Castell on the last one, but otherwise, the conditions are identical from last week. Looking at progress can be ___couraging.
I forget about the different looks a person has, e.g. the look of looking, look of concentrating, look of gazing, look of posing, until i see them expressed like this. your concept of a face with a certain look is, i guess, situational and/or subconscious, so when you're reminded in an unexpected context, your consciousness is stirred and, "oh yeah. yes. i see."
these clearly reflect a more practiced hand than the first set. both sets have captured various D-looks, but, for instance, the collars and ears and some nuanced shading (esp in 1b) come off as more skilled one week later. initial lay observation. also: awesome.
Of these, my favorite is #2. Nice expression on the lips - almost half a smirk. and, despite the fact that you're working with uni-tone ink, the space between the collar and the neck is right. the shadow feels right. i still can't do that.
k - maybe drawing faces is like giving names to architectural features/psychological phenomena - then you can remember, categorize, make comments about a class... (though the names can, further on the line, be a hindrance if they ossify.)

I like the way your glasses are melting off of you like Dali clocks.
these are more correct, but my favorite is still #2 from the first batch, a week ago. that one looks at me like you look at me.
