I think this is one of my favorites of what you've posted so far. I also really like the sketches of the model at the SFAI, and of Matt LeBlanc. I thought your light/shading on those two were first-rate.
When I saw the study in mouths, I tried to imagine what the rest of the face would've looked like... some of them were so expressive I could picture a whole face in my mind's eye. I think that's one of the challenges for an artist... to subtly convey thoughts and feelings with the quirk of an eyebrow, or the shape and light of the eyes, or the contours of a mouth.
Thank you! I'm so glad you thought the mouths were expressive. What you say about the challenge of conveying thoughts and feelings is really true! I'll keep practicing!

I look forward to seeing more of your work!
