I like the 2022 version. There is a lot to be said about the free form of a rough sketch. Try a stick of charcoal and do it real fast on cheap paper. It helps you practice on facial structure and not get caught up in being perfect. The flip side is I like the style of the 2023 version. Build a style and work it outward. Think of a comic and how the consistent style gives the comic flavor. My biggest weakness is my lack of style. I can replicate things well but I don’t have a good personal flavor.
