What Style Would You Consider These?

I've been sketching quite a bit lately and thought of how many artists have their own defining touch and iconic signatures. That stirred up some personal examination. With the help of FAA artist I would like some feed back on what "style" you would consider a few of my sketches. I'm fairly new to FAA and have enjoyed the environment so far! I've posted a few personal sketches below and as always, positive criticism is greatly appreciated. Thanks for your input!

from a photographic standard, you should have images that are evenly toned and not vary in darkness, it's hard to judge as a buyer. as for style, they all kind of look the same to me.

Realist figurative linear-abstract: abstract in the sense of removing something its source

Please don't take this the wrong way, but the top one of Jon Hamm as Don Draper in Mad Men is an exact copy of a photograph (except for the addition of hair at the crown where the photo was cut off)...so it's hard to relegate a style to you, when your drawing is really the style of the photographer. It's so exact, down to the slight curve of his cigarette and the reflection of light on his suit coat buttons. It looks traced...sorry to say! I can't comment on the others...they're very dark.

Indeed Joy! I used the photograph as a point of reference as did I with the 1920's sketch, fortunately not traced. I had seen that photo many times before and thought it captured the Draper look. I had a lot of tries which I scrapped, it was a tough pic to tackle, and as always thanks for the input!
