I'm trying to struggle my way through Ctrl+paint, is it normal that the portraits always look creepy as fuck?

Do I have to convert to anime if I ever want to be able to draw a remotely cute girl?

Simple forms, my man. You can be stuck with those small format drawings without perspective for a very long time, or buckle down and learn how to connect a couple boxes and cylinders together in space.

Love your rendering, but there are a few issues. The building in the background looks like a paper cut-out. Give it a much broader value range to add some plasticity, reference a photo if you're not sure.
Also be careful with the blur. I'd suggest to use it either on moving objects or as a depth of field effect - which means the part of the street that are the same distance as the front of the bus (the focal point) should be crisp as well.
