I found a couple of photos on Reddit. For context, supposedly these two are from an abandoned camera found at a thrift store, and the guy in the FBLA shirt really captured my attention, so I decided to draw him.
I am trying to develop a style that utilizes slightly more realism, like a comic book superhero character, but not to the point that it enters realism. I used conventional realistic features when I redrew their faces, but then I exaggerated their expressions, made their eyes bigger, simplified their jawlines and hair shapes, and put more emphasis on tiny details that I wanted to magnify. It's still a sketch, but I would still to have a discussion with you guys!
