Looks like airbrush to me.
Great work. I have never been able to do portraits, always stick to cartoons as you can’t see see the mistakes so easily. 🙄

First one is pencil (done for my girlfriend now wife at the time the things you do eh!! 😳
Mikes right the second is airbrush done with black gouache and sealed with some Daler stuff for sealing water colours I think.
I have a digital camera and intend doing some more drawings in the near future so I’ll take photos while I do it if time permits.
It seems to be a case of working from white to black and building up the tones to what you think looks right plus masking, very important and time consuming.
I was looking at E-Bay and was thinking of buying that Roland CX24 that is advertised for £1300 odd to start me with Signs and cutting stencils on frisk paper would save a lot of time.
