This is really great.  I love how bold it is.  With the tools you had to work with is would have been really easy to be tentative, but you drew with authority and  it shows.  She looks amazing.  Her eyes are soft, her nose is sharp, and her hair frames her face perfectly.  Keep doing things like this.

I think these are great! You're forced to make decisions on things like composition and direction of marks without a net. There's no way to camouflage or cover mistakes with soft gradients or airbrushing, and no undo.

I love that you're working raw with whatever pens you're carrying, it shows how good your eye is.

Don't get me wrong, I love your timed head sketches too (when you get 1000, maybe do a book of all of those,) and I like many of your other pieces, but this is you really exercising!

Thanks for the kind words.  I love ink pens because whatever marks you make, you gotta
live with or work around.  Our eyes look for patterns when there's chaos.  That's one
of the greatest lessons I took from Nikoli Fechin

Hey, just a suggestion, try a black prismacolor pencil with some of these. It won't smear like charcoal, or graphite, it's more like Conte', but you'll get good tonal range. On hard enough ground it'll erase but not completely.
