I'm having a lot of trouble drawing open mouths... :(

Hey Noddydog,
I think your overall proportions on the longer sketches look good. I also think your shading is on point, especially the 20 minute sketch.
For the teeth I recommend avoiding drawing lines between each tooth. Instead differentiate the teeth by shading on one side and highlighting the other side. There are a lot of good youtube vids for that. I think that might help your open mouth studies. Keep it up!

I like the expression in your 20 minute sketch. It captures the emotion of the reference used :)

If you feel trouble drawing people with open an open mouth. I would look into doing art studies of the skeleton head with the focus of how the jaw opens and closes. Keep up the good work!
