Gatorade Frost

I had a pretty successful time with that drawing of Scott and I, but now I'm looking for a more cartoony-comic feel to this picture that I have.

Instead of having that realistic feel with the shadows that match the drawing using overlays, multiply, etc. I'm trying to get something more blockish almost. The shading will obviously be stronger and more squared off then what I have right now. So here's some comparison images:

This is the original image, just sketched roughly with the lines taken off of it:



Here's what I had originally after messing around with photoshop for a while and making it look semi-realistic with normal-esque skin tones:



And here's what I'm hoping to make out of images like these:



(Hat-tip: Comedity which was proven itself to be a very -very- funny comic already)

The idea is to figure out how to make that kind of shading off of what I have. I figure since I already have shadows sketched on I can easily references them, but I'm not entirely sure where to get started to pull this off.

Any thoughts on how I could go about doing this?

Try tracing over what you have , but just do it with a few, staight-ish lines around the outlines of the faces.

Something like this?

yeah, that's the general idea, though I'm trying to get a more defined face.

My friend's going to ink some things and then send them my way and I should be able to work off of those. I'll post those as soon as I get them and try to create what I'm wanting.

Thanks for the thoughts guys.
