Thanks a bunch, Rebecca!! I’ve ran through their galleries and saved images to my hard drive. When I’ll come to shading I’ll have great examples. And you’ve reminded me of another great site where I found many great drawings too. So, practise practise practise for me :arteest:

Yo razz
thanx for posting in my sb again.
Man, I don’t come here often enough. awesome work, amazing pencil shading man, your graphite simply rocks. Makes me want to take a pencil and draw.
Making amazing progress here dude, keep at it and you be the Welsey Burt of your day.

BNN, I hope it does. Will be practising a lot for sure!
Mal, I’m happy you like it. Amazing pieces at you’ve done yourself 
Demented, where were you when I asked for examples of great shading? Wesley Burt rocks! I’ve found his gallery and watched everything there. I think I’ll be doing some of his work studies after nailing those 50 heads. Thanks!
Rebecca, not much time really. I’d like to finish every head I’ve started here, but I think I could come back after doing all 50. Then again, after that I’d better do some new ones. This workshop is great! More practise awaits even after it’s finished

Always a pleasure Razz. Careful however razz, I’ve made some tiny studies and Wes has some wierd ways. Often you’ll find that the direction of his hatching desribes form in unexpected ways, such as going along an arm instead of around it as usual. Often, though it helps to describe form, he uses his hatching as a compositional element, using it to bring the form out of the page. He’s an amazing artist to take a look at, and even though I think he can also be confusing sometimes, I think you’ll do great by studying his works some.
On these last ones - awesome work razz! Makes me want to redo the apostel - your version makes it three versions that totally kick my ass (of which I know). Besides, Doctor Bone himself said it’s advised to do each master copy a few times to make it stick.
Your pencil work is very inspiring, it really makes me want to go and draw. Good luck with Mr. Wes Burt, looking forward to you studying him after these 50 heads. Another artist you might want to take a look at is Marko Djurdjevic - don’t know if you are familiar with him. Probably equals Wes in terms of talent, but enjoys his comics a lot more!
Here are links to two of his threads at CA, the second one being my favourite.

this is a link to sketchbook of Mr. Wes, also over at CA. posted this one as I’m not sure all these are in his gallery (might be wrong though)
Enjoy!
hope that helps some more,
cheers!

Demented, yup, that helps a lot, thank you. Of course I know Marko Djurdjevic, amazing work he does. All guys from Massive Black are insane in a god way I think I’ll have more works to study from after finishing these heads. Oh man I’m looking forward to it. Thanks for stipping by, I appreciate it. Oh btw, I think you’ve forgotten to post a link to Burt’s thread at CA, cause now there’s just 2 Marko’s threads. And you know I’d like to see more works from Burt! Strange that I couldn’t find his thread on CA, I was looking. Maybe not good enough…
9th & 10th. Tried something new, just for fun, not what I’m aiming for. And I have an idea. The others heads I’ll draw should be more interesting to look at.

Hey razz
awesome work - really liking your line, capturing these very well.
sorry, here’s the link to wes’ thread at ca:
http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=69720
awesome work - much better than the last stuff I saw in his gallery, imo. There’s a lot on page 1 of this thread, but there are also some stuff on page 2 I think. unfortunately he doen’t seem to be updating this one…
Also be sure to take a good look at Ingre as Rebecca advised. He along with the few other dudes are the farthers of today’s drawings, and it may be easier to learn from him than the stylised Wes.
anyways, keep up this astounding work, cheers!

razz,
I particularly like the 7th and 8th drawings, where you’ve gotten more life into the drawings by shading a bit more quickly. Nice to see your progress, as always!
Cheers,

Cyanid, thanks mate! Will keep working, many more to go! :arteest:
Demented, thanks for the link, amazing stuff Wes does…Yeah I’ve looked through all of Ingres gallery too. I think I’ll have enough works to study from. Thanks again for the help
Rebecca, well i thought of one thing…I think it’s better to do a fast shading on all the head, then shade only the eye or nose or lips,…The feeling is different that way. I think when I’ll be nearly done with the whole 49 heads, I’ll experiment with the 50th a bit with how it looks. Well, ehm, you’ll see if I won’t forget it 'till that time 
Fivesome! Only 35 to go! Ehm, only…Maybe I should have watched the perspective when doing these five. The heads that are farther should be smaller, but these studies are not about that, are they?

FateBringer, thanks I really wish I would have shaded those five, the view would be much better. But,…no time for that. Hmm, I really got into cross-hatching when doing these…Come here any time, I could use some tips as well :arteest:
3 heads for today:

Hey Razz
Really like your layouts. If the composition and layout of a page is interesting we often assume that which is on the page is also interesting. It warants more attention. Great work on these, awesome line you’ve got going there. Really like what you’re doing with that pencil of yours - awesome work. Apart from the fact that I would have liked to seem more of these shaded, I can’t give any crits. Your shading will get tighter and better as you go along, but right now you’re on the perfect right track. hope to see more soon,
ciao

Demented, thanks, mate. I would try to do more shaded heads, but I don’t have enough time ot do that. And I have something different decided with the other heads. Still, this is a perfect practise :bounce:
Rebecca, thank you
Two more heads. 19th and 20th. When I’ll reach 25, I think I’ll do the next half digitally. Something I have to practise a lot too.

Decided to jump to the digital ones. Done one today. Not sure if I’ll make it with all 50. This is 23rd I think. Almost half way.
