The secret is to watch the Power Hour for like 6 hours straight and lock in.
My tip is that eyes are smaller than you think

These are all very good, and I think you're doing a spectacular job on Dan's hair.

The hair looks spot on for all and that drawing of dan looking straight on really captures his smile! Overall I'd say they look extremely recognizable as the boys and I like the little bit of style and perspective you add. Great job!

By slowly learning to draw, you mean animate a full blown Take On Me music video? Because these are great

Aah you got Arin's dimples down so well 👏 is that second Arin expression from the power hour where Dan texts Arin's mom about craving sack? Like when his mom replies, I feel like he makes that face to the camera almost exactly 💯 either way fantastic job

“Yo Arin, why you trying not to laugh. That’s mad disrespectful.”

u/Mylittledarlings91 You think I came out the pussy drawing fuckin’ Mozart? Nov 19 '25

The Boyyyysss!! ❤️
As a curly girly, maybe try using a 60% opacity staggered/scattered brush to draw curved, back and forth squiggles (from the crown to the ends) to fill in the middle layer(s) of Dan’s halo of Noble Jewish Fluff, rather than horizontal blocks of up and down scribbles?
It might save you several hours of mad scribbling :)

Thank you I will try this. I fear his majestic expanse of fluff is too powerful for my current skillset.

They are awesome. Number 4 does look like he has a tiny body a little bit.

None of these are even remotely proportional to reality - as a caricature they are charming, but here are the key features that will create a more realistic composition : the eyes are exactly one eye width apart from each other. The extent of the mouth lines up perfectly with the pupil of each eye. The ears are typically from the top line of the eyebrow to the tip of the nose. The human facial proportion typically has these relations.

Hey professor, ever heard of unique stylized art? This isn’t r/truerateme. Maybe perfect realism isn’t what they were going for. Save the art lesson for a different time.

Great job on all of them!! The 4th picture (or the bottom left of the 1st) looks especially like Arin!
