Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Heya-- I'm trying to learn to use a brush here are my first 4 attempts. The bottom is most recent.

The main weakness that jumps out at me is the homogeneity of value and 'busy-ness" across the page. Your most recent one is strongest in that respect--the larger black areas on the left side of the face and jacket give visual rest and contrast from the busier brush strokes elsewhere. The first three kind of lack those areas of rest. I think you can push the back areas even further, they also help to define the forms more clearly.

In the future, would you mind posting your work in your own thread or in the Doodle thread? We generally try to keep threads on the topic of critiquing the original poster's work. If you've got a point to make with your work in regards to the OP's work (ie: "You might want to try X to get across Y, like I did in this example") or are doing a drawover/example for them that's one thing, but otherwise it probably doesn't belong in someone else's thread. Thanks.
