Another attempt at a decent face

For some reason, I’ve decided that I finally want to draw really well. I always messed around with drawing as a child, but never progressed to a point where I was decent at it. I also had several friends growing up who were EXCELLENT artists. Here’s my beginning attempts at learning. I’m teaching myself so far, but I find the process quite enjoyable. By the way, this was done on a Wacom Intuos 4 Medium tablet, with Autodesk Sketchbook Pro. I cannot recommend either tool more for the beginning artist.
