You'll find much greater success working from life or from photos that were not taken with a camera flash. Also, the expressions on the faces of the two subjects look like they are both grimacing. If you want to work from photos take some top notch pictures of subjects with a natural relaxed expression and with one source of natural daylight off to the side (ie a window). If you study the threads in this forum on how to take reference photos you will be light years ahead.
