XMFC practice art

Practice drawing the XMFC guys. Partly because I'm gearing up to do illustrations for the summer fic challenge, partly because I could not bring myself to do anything from my list of things to do today.

I so often do 3/4 views that I decided to get some practice doing straight up forward and side. Hence, mug shots. I'm trying to get a feel for how to stylize these guys. Well, maybe i mean "draw." The dirty secret about my style is that it's not really stylized, this is the best I can draw.

I think they look fantastic! The expressions are terrific, and I especially love Charles's hair in the first one (eee!) not to mention his fingerless gloves, and all the ways you've got the strong lines of Erik's cheeks and jaw and chin so clearly defined in both of his drawings. :D

Compromising positions: Erik surprised by something Charles is thinking at him! :D? :D?
