I have noticed that you use outlines a lot. It is part of your style and it works for you in many instances. Overall, I really like it. Although, in the male portrait (b&w head), it is too stark. The action in your strokes, and the expression you capture are beautiful, but the outlines around the edges of the face stop the motion and emotion and cage it in in a way that feels too tight. If you could soften it, the way you did on the bridge of the nose of the woman’s portrait below it, the drawing could be all around fantastic.

Thanks for the feedback!
