I like those horizontal lines/marks on the dark side of his nose.
 
Mike, it is enlightening to study these drawings. It helps a person to understand better the shapes within shapes, the lights in the dark areas and the dark areas within the lights. I learned a thing or two here today.
 
I am blown away by these! Quite amazing! I'd love to know your process.
Do you mind if I link to you?
