Still working from the "portraits with pencils" book. Here are some more of the practice exercises. I am looking forward to moving on to the ears. The grey paper images are done using layering and the others are done using burnishing. I much prefer the finished effect of the burnishing method but am using up my prismacolors at an alarming rate!!

GORGEOUS MOUTHS!! Each so different and yet so luscious!
These are fantastic. I really love how you've worked the color on such a wide range of papers. Wow!
These are very impressive. I haven't worked much with colored pencils. Your blog is great!
WOW - these are just amazing! Loved your Nina portrait too.
Nice studies - the pencil on the gray paper has a beautiful tone. I've never practiced just drawing a certain feature - it seems like a great idea!
great mouths, shelly! I especially like the use of highlights.
