If you hadn't already gathered, the purpose of this exercise was to test how well you can draw what you actually see rather than drawing what you THINK you should see.

From your results, it looks like your on the right track, but you got lazy with the arm on the right and the head. You spaced his eyes too close together, lips are too narrow, and head is boxy. An important part of art is being able to recreate the world as it is, not as you'd expect it to be. This is the cornerstone of realism, which in turn is the cornerstone of good art.

It's good to get out of your comfort zone, and I'm glad you actually took my advice. Next I would encourage you to watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLqWX7onVmU It sets up an approach to art that encourages drawing what you see while still producing decent looking work.
