The face in this piece turned out a bit funky, but I like the gesture of the figure and the foreshortened left leg.

I've been drawing some small heads and big hands on the models as of lately. This never used to be the case. I am usually so concerned with the face that my heads always end up being twice the size I intend for them to be. I think the recent changes are partially because the models stand on a raised platform and I sit right up close to time them and give them direction and that makes for some extreme angles. Also, I've been focusing more on drawing hands recently, something I always avoided. Hands are really tough for an artist that is not used to them. We tend to focus all our attention on faces. We toil to capture the expression and character in them and neglect the fact that the same can be achieved with drawings of hands.
