I think sketching with pencil and actual paper might help you a little. I'm not sure if you're using a mouse or tablet or what to draw with, but if you have a tablet, and want to sketch with that, maybe a brush with lighter opacity and a sketchier feel to it. Your lines are a bit too solid and harsh for them to be that sketchy and rough. Solid black like that is a bit better for smooth lineart.
It also seems like you're trying to stylize the portraits of the people, but in doing that, they're not so recognizable. Maybe if you start by just trying to draw them as they are, ignoring any anime etc. influences until you have the likeness down more. And in general just study human anatomy some more, and maybe concentrate on lines before moving on to colouring.
I don't want to be a huge downer or anything, just trying to help. <3
