Now that my exams are nearly done with (two more to go) I'm trying to get back into drawing every day. I've been lurking this site on and off for ages, and coming here to drool over all the amazing stuff daily over the past few weeks, so I figured I may as well squash my terror of embarrassing myself horribly and try and do a daily sketchbook here. This is both an attempt to draw more regularly and to get some advice from the people here. I've been reading the critiques in the forums and they're really useful so I figured I'd give this a go.
I'm 16 and I've just finished my GCSEs, going into 6th form/college in september.

Please excuse the dirt on here, my scanner needs cleaning or something...
These are the first proper drawings I've had time to do since my exams started. These are just copies from photographs looked up on google image search to try and get myself drawing:

Another sketch. Sort of self portrait:

Good pics ! My crit would be to focus more on the shading.

Not much today - a mixture of sleeping late, being tired and irritable...
Good stuff, but you need to work more from life and learn anatomy.
Over weekends I'm likely to be staying at a friend's house, so in this...
