More from Henrieke
This type of practise is what I used to do all the time several years ago... euuuugh, I'm rusty.
These are all 1945-type Barks ducks, I like to imitate the style but did such a bad job I just copied half of these heads.
I like practising with ballpoint pen, it's sad I hardly use it anymore. It leaves you room to sketch but if you mess up then well... do better next time.
On the bottom I tried to copy a whole panel

I did a decent job at the face but then the balloon looks WAY off. Not surprising since I'm bad at abstract shapes, and better at things that are solidly constructed.
I do encourage copying for practise, that is eyeballing, NOT tracing. It is also important that when you copy, you CONSTRUCT your drawing rather than copying LINES. It will both give you a good sense of construction and proportions, especially as soon as you compare your copied drawing to the original and find the errors. (for example here, Donald's finger doesn't even cover the pocket of the wallet while it does on the original. should note that I did try to construct the whole hand but the sketch lines are barely visible)
Here is an old practise I did, spot the errors:

Keep the negative space tip in mind, it is SUPER helpful and I always forget about it.

I don't know wether you mean the size or the position of the balloon, I think it could be a little bigger, but where it is is fine to me.
Great use of negative space in that panel too, if that balloon was placed lower I think it would look too crowded.
I really like the heads too, especially the angry ones, Donald's head just fits that expression so nicely xD

I drew that in 2007 but didn't finish anything since...

These look really awesome Henrieke, but since you have access to disneycomics.free, I wonder would you also try your hand at Don Rosa's style? Particularly his canon style that lasted from The last of the Clan McDuck until circa An eye for detail (before that, he was still developing his style, and afterwards his eye trouble started really showing).
