Figure and face simplification in wide shots (comics)
Hi! I'm mostly going for stylized/comic look in my drawings but I have a huge problem with wide shots and basically showing people in scale, when they're small. I manage to draw portrait-size faces quite well for a semi-beginner but in comic book scenes, distant figures and their faces are sometimes just a few ink marks and I'm completely unable to draw like that. All my far-shots just look like a kids' drawing. I attached some screenshots from manga I found online to show what I mean exactly. None of this is my work of course.
How do I practice/learn how to simplify figures so much but also signal their most important features?
