For your second one, this is good. Your fundamentals are strong. This looks like the individual faces were relatively small (I mean come on, you took on five people!) so I can understand a little bit of roughness. I just started portraits about five years ago — the thought bothered me slightly because I knew how intimidating facial features were. After all, what more highly evolved creation is there for subject matter? So I knew I’d have to tackle it. Boy did I ever… my third portrait was a watercolor of a supermodel, and I treated it like oil haha… But you’ll get so much better for obsessing over facial features, I promise. More than from anything else 😉

Yes, I do need to start working Larger scale. The drawing was only on 8×11 paper.
My favorite one was the one I did for my biology teacher (in the older entries). Also, I wish now that I had done it in white charcoal on black paper
I really like your use of the dark background, and their features are delicately done. An all together interesting piece± 😀 Well Done!
