Pencil and Charcoal Portrait Group Drawings

Groups of portraits drawn with graphite and charcoal pencils.

Sam Brisley drew all of the portraits on his page.

I love the style and all of these likenesses.  There is so much to like about them.  Faces everywhere sporting so many facial features and expressions.

My favourite is drawing number 3 and those partial faces stacked upon each other.  Specifically, the ones overlapping.  After this comes drawing number 5.  In this one I like the angles and perspectives of the faces.  The lowest down, is one that apparently causes trouble for budding artists.  It’s at a sharp angle that sets the viewer’s position below the one of the person depicted.  It’s an unusual pose when it comes to portraiture, but one that is very pleasing when it comes out right.

What do you think of these and the rest of the sketches?

Ps. I gave the images some titles.
