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.

Nicely done! Charles's mouth is tricky but I think you've done it well, just delicate enough not to overstate those lips. And I second Helens, the planes of Erik's face are indicated very well (and they're so important to his look.) I like how you've drawn their clothes, too.
