Sweet sketch Raymond!

Thanks Fuel! I made 2 more today. I've got a few people asking me to make one for them, so I'll prob be updating this thread a lot.

Cool portraits Raymond. You've got a nice realistic style going on there.

Any chance you might bring blank paper to work with you? It might look a bit nicer without the lines. :p

Thanks Jojishi! I only have construction paper/computer paper at home, nothing with lines. And I wanted to keep up the tradition of drawing on lined paper (it seems to help me with proportions and stuff), but you're definitely right that it would look a lot better without the lines. So we'll see what my next one turns out like. Anyways here is another one I drew yesterday at work.

I made two more.

Me and my mom.

nice but the bridge of the nose usually isn't suppose to be so defined and you seem to forget putting the eye sockets cause there is a lot of depth around the eye's

How am I supposed to show the eye sockets with a mechanical pencil though? I guess I can put some shading around the eyes, but I got this feeling it would look like eye liner.

I made a few more in the last couple days. I can tell Tim's shoulders are out of proportion now that I look at it again. I spent about 20-30 minutes on each of these. I'll try to work on the things you guys mentioned. And thanks for the link Elixir. I felt like I learned some stuff from it, but I didn't apply it much in these because the images are small. I'll try making some larger sketches with more detail now that I'm getting the hang of this.

you get better and better!
gotta love the newest ones.
dare to draw me some time?

You really seem to have a knack for this! My favorite would have to be Uncle Gary :D Keep going!

Really nice! I can see the improvement here, try practicing each section of the face separately giving them detail and realism (if realism is what you are going for, I guess it's pretty obvious that you are) and you will have much better result next time! Check this channel's tutorials https://www.youtube.com/user/Sycra, they are a gift from god if you ask me, they have helped me with anatomy, construction and pretty much everything I recommend it a lot, hope to see more portraits soon!
