There are people at my office who want portraits, and I'd like to do them in oils, but I don't know if I can. Regardless of the medium I use, I'll post the results here.

YES, JEFF, YOU CAN. Do your portraits in graphite or paint tonally if that is what you are comfortable with. I know and can see from your drawing that you CAN get the likeness. You have it, you can do it. Go for it. Your work will get better day by day, so don't despair. It really takes courage to put work "out there", but fear enslaves. Just do it.
PS The newest "hip" thing is black and white. Hmmmm. As in any trend, the pendulum will swing back. Right now, you could be "THE CUTTING EDGE!" Ha!
