The only other observation I can see on most of your posted pencil stuff is that you look to be using only a #2 pencil.

You'd be amazed how much change having a nice set of graphic pencils can do for your shading and line depth. You can only get a certain range from a standard pencil..

Babettes gallery is a victim of the smudge stick:) But her work is nice as far as character studies go.
 

You guessed it, #2 pencil, and Sharpie fine-point permanent markers! I've got a full set of pencils, but most of this stuff is drawn in the back of a maintenance truck at night while we're waiting for planes to take off and land. Hard pencil smudges less in a backpack :)

Well I also invest in nice Sakura pens. They're expensive but come in a varying point range for outline and detail work..

I used to do a lot of work waiting for birds as well, but the dust always got into my sketch pads and the pencils got lost alot. So I suspended most of my flightline artwork for downtime between inbound flights: Then again I doubt you're waiting for the aircraft for the same reason I was..

Me? Not really. I just have more time for some things than I do for others. I actually had a whole three hours to spend on the Water Spirit! But now I'm on vacation, so I'm gonna do some all-day pictures for once. Though I still have to work on some EPRs. Go figure...working on the off-time.
 

I've been neglecting my character requests for the last few weeks because of school, work and the elusive Emerald Sage, which seems to only have me as an artist.. sigh.. and I'm also the 'art director' but that title means very little in that situation.
 

So you're directing yourself? :D

If you ever need some extra pics, just e-mail me or something. I'll see what I can come up with. And I might even use something other than a #2 pencil ;)
