Portrait Practice 2

I've been continuing with these portrait studies for the last week, its been a good daily warm-up. I feel like the quality between this week's portraits and last week's is noticeably higher. That's the good thing about continued practice! I'm finding that for me personally, the greatest challenges are in overcast lighting (2nd portrait) and the extremely blown-out light sources (6th portrait). This is enjoyable.


These were all about an hour's worth of work, from reference, done completely in photoshop.
