Mugshots

I'm moving on to the "people" part of my drawing module, and poor Colin, who is usually so relaxed, is getting very stressed out.  Whenever he sits down for 5 minutes (which is not very often) I pick up my sketchpad and start drawing him.
It probably doesn't help that my sketches aren't particularly flattering; Half of the problem is that when I sketch I always try and catch the essence of something rather than a likeness, which is fine for sketching in nature, but probably a bit unflattering for people. And Col would probably be the first to admit that he has the face of a "mugger" rather than a "muggee".
