Don't draw from photos, draw from life. Copying from photos simply trains your brain to copy shapes, whereas drawing from life teaches you about interpreting perspective, definition, form and lighting. If you cannot attend a life drawing class, ask a friend of family member to pose for you. Personally, I also find that drawings based on photos tend to look quite flat and lifeless.
I would also suggest you become a little more confident with your line work. Your short, sketchy strokes indicate a possible lack of confidence - have more confidence in yourself to place longer lines on the page. If you're worried about making mistakes, just place lighter lines until you're happy with the shapes, and then go over them again with darker strokes.

Looks like you're off to a good start. The bald man has good facial proportions, and although the other man has a disproportionately small head compared to the body, his face is very nicely sketched. You might enjoy some of the lessons offered here for free, there are some very good ones for portraits. And if you add these drawings to your gallery here, we can see your drawings through your profile and they'll be added to the member's gallery. Welcome to Drawspace!

I couldn't disagree more.
Drawing from life and photos are different, but not that different. In fact, you can get better results from drawing from photos as it allows you more time and freedom. You have the ability to use different techniques for scale, ALL of the depth and form is in a photo, just like in real life. I've done a lot of both and I prefer photo references.
The line work. In reality, there really are no lines. You need to mold form with value. Value changes create edges which, in turn, create your "lines" for you. Edges are value changes are the key to realism. Stay away from drawing lines, learn to identify value: DARKEST, LIGHTEST, EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN. Learning to see what you're really looking at and doing it justice on your work will create the depth and form which creates what it is you really see.

I think that the practice is important thing. No matter how you draw. It's all for soul.
