I know this is off topic but are these any good?
Please be honest, otherwise I will not develop.
I have a book with faces, meant of animators and illustrators, and I let my sons pick which face I’ll draw. Otherwise I’ll pick an easy one. Then they tell me if the result matches the face they picked.

To be used as cartoons or for animation these faces are too detailed to be good. You have to reduce, pick out the characteristics you need for you chosen face and then enforce those characteristics.
Thank you!
I suppose the need for detail depend on size of the image and style of the cartoon? Like the top left has very little detail - I really tried to have as little as possible - while the top right is an actual sketch with shadows and all.
I was rather wondering if they looked like they were drawn by a complete amateur :-)
The one on the left isn't too bad. The mouth is wrong and ear seems a little too small. The girl looks like two different drawings fused together. The chin, neck and ear belong to another head. Draw from life not photos.
I've drew portraits for a living in the 80's so I'm wired to draw but you're light years ahead of me on writing.
I gave up drawing for years to learn how to write. How far do you really want to go with this?
