Not many remember how life there began, in the lands amidst surrounding walls of stone and pools of deep darkness, but whilst they forget the secrets of the past, they begin to riddle the future with their growing lust for knowledge, greatness and power.
Eddard Stark - 50-60 mins Robert Baratheon - 60-70 mins (bloody beard got me in a tis) Arya Stark - 40-50 mins

These are all really good! The girls are probably your weaker two, something in their expressions and the harshness of their features is a little off, but I can't fault you on the boys, especially that facial hair.
I think my favourites are Robert and Tywin, with Tyrion edging into third. The shading and detail are very nice done.
What I'd suggest as far as faults go:
Arya's face is perhaps too round, or her eyes too small. I'm not entirely sure, but something feels off about the composition. Her hairline is also too far back. Girl's hairlines don't really recede in that way and are more straight than a boy's, even when their hair is tied back.
With Daenerys, I feel the lines around her nose are too pronounced and her right eye (the viewer's right) is very off. The eyebrows are too thick and not as carefully crafted as your other drawings and the hair has too little definition. I think this is perhaps because you were trying to make her fair, but that can be accomplished while still using dark lines, as long as you give less shading and use more white space.
Thank you both for your replies Admittedly the girls were harder and i was really close to scrapping Daenerys and trying her again because i drew her when i was getting tired and so the quality swooned a bit. Arya was a bit harder but truth be told i lined up the drawing next to the picture and it looked near enough correct so it might look slightly off But again, thanks, still practicing portraits, i still wouldn't say they're my strong point but im enjoying the practice

Thanks guys! it does mean a lot I thought i would also mention that it was my aim to try and do each of these in an hour or under, though a couple took a little longer, but the restricted time (i dont know why i chose to do that) is pretty much the reason the quality is off on these. I think Robert and Arya are the only 2 i took real care of so.. ...and someone challenged me to do Bruce Lee and i churned that one out in 28 minutes without it looking too off
But i plan to draw a few more characters eventually, starting with Joffrey, Jon Snow and then maybe Cersei or Jaime, but if you have any requests, please tell me and i'll try and do them when i find the time and motivation, but please, not too many otherwise i'll feel bad if i cant complete them all thanks again!

These are all really good pictures, but I can't say that I immediately recognise them as the characters. They're really good pictures of people, but not really of the subjects. If you hadn't put the names up, I wouldn't have immediately gone 'Oh yes, that's so and so from Game of Thrones'.
"TV makes sense. It has logic, structure, rules, and likeable leading men. In life, we have this."
Just a quick update: Finally been convinced to draw Khal Drogo. Took me just over an hour but it came out alright i suppose I'm also in the process of editing Daenerys, though whether i post the edited version i'm not yet sure of, we'll see!
