I really love the variety! but I have to say they look a little more in their twenties than teenagers - its a hard one, the only way to get it is studying teenage profiles - usually though noses are shorter, nose and mouth aren't far apart and eyes are bigger.... hope that helps - they look great though!

Very solid crits, thank you! It was difficult, I should have studied some refs. In my attempt to make them look different and unique I made them look older.
Thanks for the crit, it did help!

I love the variations for these characters' profile views. I never noticed how different the profile of a being could be!
Some of the portraits appear to look like teenagers to me, but others such as the man in the top row, far left, look like a young adult or adult age. It could possibly be the overbite but I'm uncertain myself. I think it's easier to judge a character's age when you fully see the body.
I really enjoy the difference in shape and form though. Great work!

Well, real people look very different so it should be carried over into art. It's not too difficult, just need to think about the basic shapes of the head, jaw, nose, eyes and earss.
Yes, as I now know, most of these don't look like teenagers, it turned out to be more difficult than I had imagined. There has to be a balance between childhood and adulthood captured in their faces and I don't think there's enough childhood here. Thanks for you comment, without yours and others I wouldn't have known if I had succeeded or not, outside opinion is important.
Thanks!
