Drawing people as cartoons

American artist Robert DeJesus continues to transform perfect strangers' photos into anime versions of themselves (previously here) and we thought it's high time to look at his new character designs. "I got into drawing and Anime during high school," DeJesus told Bored Panda. "Dr. Slump and Akira were the very first manga I owned and collected."

I am hoping to get some feedback from anyone here with some experience in 2d animation.

Robert De Jesus has made a name for himself by offering a service that works similar to the street artists who caricature people on the spot. Except that you don’t have to leave your house and this artist doesn’t draw caricatures, he just references the photos. So if your hand-drawn portrait is an exaggerated or humorous version of what you see in the mirror, you should probably turn to that mirror once more.
