A few portraits I haven't posted yet.

BTW, this is Jiheon from the k-pop group, fromis_9, and it's pretty much impossible to capture the infectious and radiant smile she has when she's performing on stage, and this is where I think video is a much more effective medium than photos or drawings. Just watch her perform for ten seconds and you'll know what I mean:

That smile can power an entire city, and if you're not also smiling when watching her perform, then I hope whatever it is you're going through in your life right now will soon get better.
This RDJ one was a quickie, about an hour or so, since it was a portrait sketching exercise done during class, where I was guiding students on how to do a portrait quickly but still capture the essence of the subject.
