sketching my portuguese friends

I sketched a few of my portuguese friends using charcoal, these are some of the results, they were done directly from life.

sketching my friends

At work I sketch my friends and I really enjoy the process, it is great and they really love it. I work in charcoal and sometimes in pencil. My main objective is to get a likeness but also create some kind of unique feel of the personality/ character of my friends. I have a few images here. Enjoy! Feel free to ask any questions or you might want yours done as I draw directly from life.
