                Dude, I don’t mean to nitpick, but the one on the right looks more like a caricature than a portrait.

                    He’s a Facebook friend and fellow artist who lives in the United Kingdom. He liked the drawing so much he’s using it as his Profile Picture.

                        I can see why he liked his portrait so much. I do too- it is simple, blocky, and powerful: probably much like the man himself. The perspective also gives the sense that he is not only large, but tall as well.

                        The woman is well done and the light from above lends an upbeat mood to the portrait- a smile like a sunny day. My only suggestion would be to use a much lighter touch on the definition of the teeth.

                            These are both really beautifully drawn. You have captured the characters of the two people so well. It is not easy to draw a smile but this is a nice portrait. Well done!
