Second drawing underway...

Here is the progress so far on the second piece.  I'm really trying to make sure all three portraits are the same size and use value scales that don't separate them too much.  Since these two pieces are drawn as profiles rather than head-on portraits I'm playing with the idea of leaving some of the head unfinished. I feel like this approach would read better than to have a dark mass take over most of the head.  Of course, then I need to figure out how much I can leave unfinished and still get the look across that I'm going for.  It's also important to me that all three pieces have that soft, drifting feel.  I want it to feel like the faces might fade away after a short time.  This one certainly isn't coming together as easily as the first but I think I can pull it together in the end.
