Charcoal Portrait Drawings that Capture our Essence

We are surrounded by people, but never take the time to look at the features, that make up the differences between us.
Artist Casey Childs loves to see these features and then catch them and immortalise them with his artwork. Most faces have the same components, 2 eyes and ears, 1 nose and a mouth and hair. The variations and subtle differences that make our features so diverse, is something that artist like Childs celebrate and treasure in their art. Another important component when it comes to his portraits is lighting, that helps give his drawings that extra touch of reality and a fantastic way of highlighting different parts of the face. Enjoy the many charcoal portrait drawings that illustrate the points above.
