I tried for a sort of “cutout” style. Final version made with The GIMP; the font used is Stranded BRK by Ænigma. Click on the image for the full size.

Angles and Expressions
First, I found this a while back- “22 Panels That Always Work”, a set of 22 camera angles common in detective noir comics. (Scroll to the bottom for the actual panels.) Very interesting, and quite handy if you’re having difficulty coming up with imaginative angles.
Secondly, this is an excellent guide to drawing characters’ facial expressions. Granted, a lot of the pictures are of cats, but the information is just as useful if you’re drawing people. 🙂
