Baseball fan

Tinny and Beardo

I don't, at this stage, know what these guys' story is, but I'm sure it's interesting...

A little more detail

Again, more focused on overall proportions, rather than tying myself to achieving photo-likeness.

Frame only

Just trying to get the proportions right, rather than any concern with detail. Doing more of this inures me to a target of perfection, and just focuses me on drawing, drawing and more drawing.

More faces

A couple of rougher sketches, on the way to seeing how simple I can make my portraits while still retaining key details.

Expressions

Experiments with different expressions, in a more cartoony style. No reference behind these, just purely imagination.

Smiles

None of these turned out exactly as I'd hoped, a side-effect of staying away from drawing too long I guess. At least they're all happy :)
