I love the last one. There's a warmth and real feeling of the person's likeness, not just pencil on paper. That's something I really can't do and I admire. I think it's cool that you can do looser, more figurative work and accurate, anatomically correct sketches. I tend to see people either be good at one or the other xMy contribution to the thread - here are some 15 minute warm up sketches I've done

I'll give you a tip - stop obsessing over being perfect right from the start. By the time you've done all your shading, you've invested a lot of time and effort into something that's not anatomically correct. Use a light pencil (like a 2H or harder) with very light pressure to place all your features, then switch to a softer grade to reinforce your shapes and finally a very soft/dark grade to emphasize key features. Be very loose and try to put personality into your lines and you'll find that you can do a lot more in a lot less time. When I started loosening up, a quick pleasing style started forming. Try limiting your time and if you don't like what you've done in the first stage, start over! Don't be stubborn and keep squeezing blood from a stone. Hope this helps!I love the last one.

Thank you, that was a sketch of a friend of mine This was on regular old paper, I usually use a sketch book where the paper has a tooth (texture) which is much nicer to sketch on.
I decided I didn't gush enough about your work-- that is really exquisite. The design and inlays are beautiful and the style is really unique! It sort of a Danish Modern meets Federal Style--Did you design it? do you have other pieces? I would love to see more! cheers, cHere'View attachment 2002976s a better file
