Pal Pics - Gameboy - 01-14-2009

I've been starting a little thing with me and my friends. Out of nowhere I'm drawing cartoon versions of people I know. So, basically, I want some input.

Not much to say here.

Of course, his name isn't Squirt, but it's a nickname I have called him since I knew him. I based the simple BG on his foundness of tye-dye.

There are two really fundamental things that I see wrong with these :c

First, you need to do more structuring. Even with cartoony warped kinda styles you need a good idea of anatomy and how proportions work before you can mess with them.
Following from that, you need to think about how different parts of the body interact. In the second one you've got a little of that - the way he's grinning would probably crease the eye up a bit, but in the first it seems a bit much to crease the eye when she's looking fairly placid.
You might wanna take a look at these:

Obviously don't just copy these, just look at the tips + basic form :>

Second, don't outline hair like it's a hat. The way you've done it on both of these makes it look kinda pasted on. Hair does mostly move together but you should avoid drawing it as a solid lump. Plan where the parting is and what direction different parts of the hair go in.

This is obviously more detailed than you're going for, but in principle its the same idea; hair moves independently rather than all sticking together.

The odd anatomy IS kinda creepy but they're okay

I hope the people you made em' for like them!
