Drawing every day personal challenge

I have been trying to draw every day this summer. Some days I don't get a chance but trying to make it a habit. I asked for photo references form friends. Here is today's (and yesterday's since I started it then):

@chrisaakins I really love this one!

@Heather-Boyd thanks! All I really did was ink over the old photo after I lowered the transparency. I just wanted to build my muscle memory for clothes and faces. It turned out pretty cool, though.
