More Pete Emslie Technique

Recently I've been studying the live sketch works of Pete Emslie. Here are some of my copy drawings of his work.
All of these drawings were originally black and white sketches so I had to study his studio works to get ideas for the coloring. Also after some experimentation I tried to come up with my own methods. Unfortunately, I didn't find any of his live sketches where he drew children. Since I draw mostly kids at the aquarium, I'm having a hard time relating his techniques to my work.

Here are a few of my own drawings I did after practicing his 3/4 view approach. They're not the best examples, but I'd like to come up with more original shapes. Also, I found this technique handy because it can be difficult to make small children face a certain direction, and it's easier to draw them whichever way they're looking.
