Still Quieten

I wanted to create a new portrait series continuing the tradition I started in 2008 with the series called "Despite"

This is the most personal work I've ever created this year. Somehow, all the people here have been influential in my life. Each person in these portraits I've loved or still love with all my heart. There's some people I stopped drawing due to lack of touch or lost of feelings ( not including Montaña ). Like I said, it's very personal.
I enjoyed the time I drew each one.


Total of 15 people, 23 sketches and 11 finals.These are the 11 finals.

I have to make a side note here.
I've been drawing Nattie Gone since 2005 and I find a special interest in the images I make of this character. I made two Nattie Gones the same week and both are so different. I love both, but the strokes and colors are different and it seriously made me think:

How is my stroke?
Is it fluid? organized? sketchy?
How are my colors?
strong? contrast?
Should I even worry about this?
I thinking about it because the consistency here is way off.
