Some B&W Digital Portraits

Hey everyone, how are you today?
I want to share 3 portraits i did a couple weeks ago. When i was painting these i start with a sketch like always after that i always block the colors then start to shade and find the correct values first.
I was trying some brushes and techniques to feel more comfortable with painting and really trying hard with my brushwork these days for getting better and faster. And i still dont have any process shots to show you guys because its a bit old and i always work with one layer. Other then that i will be sharing some great character designs very soon with some processes and explaining.
So stay tuned.

So this is all for today.

A small thing about me
Im a self taught digital artist who aims to be a character design artist and illustrator. I love painting faces and design characters, i learn and study everyday so i can make it to be a freelance artist.
I hope to see you guys around and company my journey.

Feel free to ask or comment anything, i will appreciate it.
Thank you for stopping by and have a good one!
