I've been sketching some characters these past few days. I really wanted to try a bit with different skin colors. Hence the black girl (somehow similar to Rihanna) and the two other girls, who have mixed Caucasian and Asian ancestors.
At the beginning of the exercise I told myself I wasn't going to use any kind of directional light, but here you have the first study, with a quite visible beam of light reflected in the right part of her face.
I'd probably be a good idea working on something more detailed with the white haired girl as a protagonist.
