Pencil Portraits People and Movie Characters

Sketchbook drawings of people and their expressions.  Plus, a few celebrities for good measure.

Gabriela Niko is a freelance illustrator and sketchbook artist based in Poland. She specialises primarily in portraits. This category can be split in: Traditional, with graphite and colour pencils plus, digital art ones.

Niko remarks that although she likes both mediums, the traditional ones are her favourite. They are mine too and that is why this post only showcases them.

Emotions and expressions bloom up and down the page, especially on the second half of the post. This is where happiness and laughter find their home. I hope they find a suitable habitation on your face too.

Ps. I gave the images some titles.
