MF DOOM
Drawing portraits is hard
 
Call it cheating, but I drew these portraits with the aid of using a photo of the subject underneath the paper. This helped me lay down the fundamental lines and proportions of all the faces you see here.
 
Since finishing these sketches, my freehand skills have drastically improved. And while I don't use this drawing hack anymore, it's still a valuable tool for folks learning how to draw faces (just don't get comfortable with it).
 
Subject Matter
I selected faces and artists I was really drawn too. I mean who could resist drawing that beautiful profile of French Poet, Jean Cocteau or the enigmatic mask of MF DOOM.
