I like the direction you're going in! It seems less restricted then the previous work you did. You're going to have to work on differnciating the face shapes, though, but for the most part I think this is a good start.
Yeah I've just been trying to draw in pen because I know my worst habit is constantly erasing and trying to make everything perfect. Got any specific suggestions for varying a more simple style?
And hello~ to you too.
This is only a good thing.
