Photoshop Shenanigans some random illustrations

[biscuitrat 0]

My first creation is clearly a woman. It's easy enough to tell. I've posted this one before, but not in the Photoshop forum so you guys can look over it. A bit of an error on my part - it's actually fully made in Fireworks, which doesn't have as many brushes available to it.

 

 

Now, this next one I made just today. It was supposed to be a character from my novel-in-progress. I didn't mean to make a human face, nor did I mean to make anything remotely facelike. It started out as a woman but became a man - you can probably tell that I can't draw men and I think I actually ruined it by reverting from the original one I made:

(don't you love the comb-over?!)

to this one:

 

I absolutely stink at drawing male faces, and in an attempt to make a face more masculine and less "vhat...?", I think I screwed it up by making him look so dorky in the second one. Also, I was experimenting and using one brush with a variety of blurs and opacity changes so that might clarify the style. It looked pretty good when I started out :/

My thoughts EXACTLY, for every bit of it.

 

They look pretty good, IMO, just not my "thing", if you get me.

But the small ones look like they're being eaten by POTATOES.
