Charcoal Drawings with some Celebrities

Charcoal portraits with a few celebrities thrown in for good measure.

American Artist, Teacher and Author Matt Smith created these drawings. A nice mix of expressions and a level of detailing that should keep you interest going as you look at these portraits.

I love the incredulous look, about halfway down the page. It's so beautifully extreme. That expression really stretches all of the muscles and nerves in the face to pull it off.

I had a lot of fun putting together this post; I hope you enjoy it too.

Ps. I gave the images some titles.
