The eyes have it.
Most critical for capturing the likeness of someone you know well is getting the eyes correct. In general, people look at another's eyes the most when interacting with them. So, take extra care with eye placement, eveness, color, shape, and expression. Eyes can show emotion, intelligence, connection and other important interactions beyond the verbal.
There's not much room for error, either. The difference between eyes looking too close together and too far apart can be as little as 1/8th of an inch.
I find the eyes are a good place to start a portrait.
