New portrait sketches


My sweet sister-in-law invited some friends recently to a photo shoot for me. I photographed 10 individuals in various poses and lighting.  I wanted these shots to use for practice in my portrait painting adventure. 
I am still working on the others but these are the ones I have finished thus far. Each represents about two hours of work. Some of the paintings I really like and in some of the others I see improvements that could be made. I have to keep reminding myself that I am still learning.  Each time I do a painting, I can see improvements in my skill and that is really what goal is, right?
