Judson, your faces are improving. I like that you have a sense of light and shadow and I like the skin tones.

Double check those very different eye sizes, however; they seem too different.

There is a very light area in the shadow side of the temple, near a curl.
This light area is near the hairline and is in the shadow area. The shadow area should read as all shadow, and right now that light area jumps out. If you will lay your finger over that too-light area, you should note an immediate improvement to the three-dimensional feel of the face.

The drawing in the body needs improvement. Right now there is a cartoon quality to it, especially in the torso. Things are over-exaggerated and placement does not seem to be correct. If you have a photo to which you can refer, you might want to use it to check your drawing.

I like your persistence. Hope you make these corrections and post the changes.
