29 Faces Challenge - Late to the party

I joined this challenge a couple of days late, the object is to create a face every day throughout the month of February. The real challenge for me won't be in creating the faces but actually updating this blog every day for the rest of the month! I don't think I've had that many posts in total the whole time I've been here!

Anyway, since I'm starting late, I have two to post today:

Face 1

This one's technically a WIP, I had started her as yet another experiment in my ongoing struggle with acrylics. I wanted to try something completely tonal and then maybe add color later, or maybe not - decisiveness is not one of my strong points!

Face 2

This girl is just graphite on an interestingly flecked charcoal paper, something I would normally not use. My issue with this paper is the placement of some of those flecks., it kind of makes her face look blotchy and I see some things I need to fix, but oh well.

Here's a link to the challenge:
