Never ending challenge to maintain the chops

Not sure if it is normal or just my personal addiction, there always seems to be an urge and need to constantly keeping up the skill set that I often do not get to practice. Every time I focus on one aspect of the work, the opposite gradually worsens.(talking about grass being greener on the other side.) Been drawing primarily using lines for the last few months, so I have to practice drawing with tone and shading in my own spare time. Below were all done from life, with charcoal on paper. 20 minutes each. There is so much to learn still.

Exercise for the sleepless

Been doing bot sketches as a late night/early morning exercise when I cannot sleep. Obviously, sniffing the fume from the markers is the ideal way to help one fall asleep... (Yeah right) Color pencil, markers and felt tip pens on paper.
