Creating Critters

Expressions

I have been doing more sketching. I was resistant to the idea at first, but I think doing some cartoonized expressions is going to help me create a mental library for creative drawing.
I drew these in one sitting, from left to right on the page, all from a set of reference photos of the same person. Gradually I identify the underlying shapes of his head contours and he becomes more consistent.

States of water

I felt the least successful was the boiling water attempt. The ice crystals need work, as well as the steam (although the steam may improve if i figure out a more effective brush to use)
