Character studies

These 4 drawings are character studies for a story I'd like to develop in the future. I've drawn the girl in a variety of styles and media, and from different angles to cement in my own mind who she is and to see what works best visually... I still haven't decided which I will go with. I think it really will depend on how the story develops and the style will be reflective of the mood of the scene.

Two drawings of my friend's son, which I drew as a present for his 18th birthday. I gave him the first one. I'm not as fond of the second, although I think it has a bit more of my personality in it.

Day one

Yearning - drawn from my imagination, the medium is watercolour pencil, which I drew over with a wet brush.

Grief - drawn from a photograph, I chose this image to practice evoking strong emotions in facial expressions. The medium is grey ink, pencil and graphite.

Lonely girl - drawn from my imagination, it is a study for a character I am developing for a story. The medium is graphite pencil.
