Closeup Expression with Pencil Portraits

00-Pencil-Portraits-Toh-Yasu-www-designstack-co
Plenty of emotions and expressions on show today.

Japanese artist Toh Yasu (藤保) creates lovely pencil portraits of people. The beauty of it is the absence of a title by the artist.

Now we are in a position to be able to interpret and give each person a backstory and an explanation for their look. A meaning they are trying to convey...

What stories do you see and imagine when you look at Yasu's work?

Ps. I gave the images some titles.
