Trying portraits - inspired by The Addictive Sketcher

I mentioned previously The Addictive Sketcher.

I was so fascinated by the workshop he gave in London, and I wasn't even at the workshop, but Emma shared this little video, with his permission, and I got really inspired! So now I want to paint the sea and sky, sketch the city, and draw portraits of strangers on a train!! All good skills!

Here are some of what I drew, some done from my own photos, some from www.line-of-action.com 

I smile for photos, so that made for smiley selfies, whereas I never smile for a self-portrait.Smiles are a challenge in portraiture. I worked with pencil and a big graphite stick which I've had for years. Time to use it!
