Pierce's sketchbook

Edit: trying to change the title to meet the sketchbook rules - doesn't seem to be taking effect.

Original post:
Hello - I'm pretty much brand new to the PolyCount community but I've been lurking around ConeptArt.org for a few years and started a sketchbook over there last year. I also post on CGHub and Crimson Daggers.

A quick bit about me - I worked as a graphic designer from 2006-2011 - while working full time I began drawing tshirts and album art on the side for my friends' bands. When the company I was working basically collapsed, I decided to turn all of my efforts towards freelance. Unfortunately, illustrating for the music industry isn't really my endgame and it is barely paying the bills. About a year ago I made the commitment to change my make it a goal to work for companies I've dreamed about since I was a kid. So that's about it.

To kick things off here's some stuff from the last few months.

For everything I post, I greatly appreciate comments and critique.

Pretty much in order starting with the oldest.
Studies:















And a recent still life.

And a portrait illustration thing

In December I tried to paint/draw as many heads/faces as possible with equal amounts from reference and imagination. Here's some of that stuff - oldest first.





Goal on this one was to try to repeat the referenced ones from memory








And a couple more sketches from the last few days.
