2 Faces (Sketchpad Confessional)

I've been wanting to simplify my "superhero/real people" art style for a while now. I'm really into the idea of being economic with my line use, especially with finished, inked illustrations.

Looking through some old sketches I've landed on some keys. These two faces show a couple if things I can implement: The first one (the elf chick) has simplified hair; basically it's one shape rather than a bunch if lines. The second face has simplified eyes, with the bottom lid non-existent, making for fewer lines still.
