Hi Jobbaworks, thank you so much for your feedback!

Blame it on Bert Dodson and his book Keys to Drawing! :-)
Before this book I read the "Drawing with the right side...", it really helped me. I learned to see (in a artist way) with this book, but it turned me in a very careful artist (it can be good, but can be bad as well: if someone is always looking for the best condition to draw, he'll draw less frequently). Then I started with Keys to Drawing and it taught me some freedom and that this messy (and quick) free hand style can make good drawings. It made me draw more frequently (wich is very importante!). :-)

Hello guys! First of all sorry my poor english, I'm not a native english speaker.
I would like some critique about my drawings below. But first I need to say some words:
1. I like to draw with a ballpoint pen because it's allways available. So, I really want to keep drawing with this tool.
2. On these exercises I was very influenced by the first chapter of the book Keys to Drawing: "draw with a pen and don't waste your drawing time with erasing" (or something like that).
3. Of course I want any kind of critique, but I would like some critique and suggestions specially about shading techniques using [cross]hatching and a good hair technique for pen-fans. :-) (I know, my shading and "hairing" style is a little messy!)
