another word for challenge is....(not this!)

Seems like all I do lately is go to work (which I don't care for too well, but it's a job and I need some dollars) and go to school (which I love and wish I could afford to go everyday). Sure, a few sporadic days I go out and find something to do with someone, but it's  not enough. So, I found this challenge of sorts on a website deviantArt. Its a 30 day drawing challenge, so far I'm on day 3 and realize how much I need instruction on getting things right. I can see what's wrong, I just don't know how to fix it. Here are my pictures so far:

day 3
day 1
day 2
The first one was easy, I was able to capture my persona using props. Day two is supposed to be a picture of my friend Jarred. I got frustrated with this one because I couldn't get the eyes and mouth right. So I gave up before I tore it up. Day 3 is the worst. These two women are really great, my friends Sherry and Melinda and I drew them to look like old men. I realize that the expressions are found in people's eyes and mouth and I just could not get their eyes and mouths right and I don't know how.
My Design Fundamentals teacher says "We're going to draw some thumbnails of your designs, then we're going to ink them. I know a lot of you have never inked before, so how do you get good at inking? You ink!"
Guess I'll keep trying to draw then.
