I Remember That When I Was Trying To Draw Semi-realistic Characters, I Realized That I Was Losing More

I remember that when I was trying to draw semi-realistic characters, I realized that I was losing more and more of the charm of exaggerated manga-like characters, so I increased the degree of deformation in this illustration. But still, I feel again that I am not good at drawing more than two people in a composition.
