[url=https://www.pinterest.com/characterdesigh/]Here's a really nice site someone showed me a while back with a lot of good character design tips/tricks, process etc.[/url]
Also, here's a little something of mine done for school a few years ago, where I had to sketch a random movie star.

You're talented.

Those tips are awesome! I'm saving those to look at later Your anatomy, proportions, and observation are really great and show well in that drawing! The only thing I can suggest would be to add more dark contrast to make it pop. Great job dude

Hey I'm on mobile app... Do you mind putting up link so I can take screenshotty?
-
:0 a link of what? I'm sorry
-
It's fine, it's the really awesome art site above you ^
-
Thanks, you're definitely right about the contrast. It's so light because I sketched it with a 3H pencil. Not really the best tool for portraits.
-
Have you ever tried your hand with charcoal?
-
No. I love what people have done with it but a lot of my work is really small and detailed in places so I prefer to use very fine tools. I may try it for some quick rough sketches but I'll probably stick to my H pencils and fine liners.
-
That's cool :D Some people are really excellent with rough concepts, but I too enjoy fine details and the small lines. I'm rather cheap myself though and use generic pencils/mechanical.

I use mechanical pencils as well. You don't have to have use anything fancy. In fact, I usually tell people to stay away from the professional tools until they can start pulling off the things they want to with your average ones.
