Help!

I can't draw females. I know this, and I'm trying to fix it, so while working on graphics for my site I decided to give one a shot. It's whack. It's uber-whack. The thing is, I can't put my finger on why this is the case. I think it's mostly the mouth, so I fucked around with that a bit. I want an outside opinion, so if you're reading this,

B all the way. While "A" is still a good drawing, "B" has the more feminine jawline and lips. I don't know a lot of women who only wear lipstick on their top lip. Good shit though, It probably just bothers you because it's not the same vision as was in your head.

Oh it's definitely not what was in my head. Fuck, it's not even what was in my sketch book. I'm not very adept at Illustrator and I have to keep making adjustments for things I did in pencil that won't translate. Shading the upper lip is one trick that looks ok in pencil, but doesn't work at all in color. Thanks for pointing it out though.

Over your drawing slump yet? Did you get FFXI uninstalled alright? Dude, fucking GET Xbox Live and join Glen, Dave, Jimmy and I's Star Wars Battlefront clan. That game is INSANE on-line. I'd say the single player alone is worth buying the game. Give it a shot if you have the cash.

like I said before dude, I'd love to get live, but I'm a poor man. I don't have the cash to buy Live, the router I need to work it, and then the games. It upsets me that I'm seriously out of touch with you, almost specifically because I don't have x-box live, but I just don't have the money.
It was a major debate wether to even spend 20 bucks on Neverwinter nights.

Drawing is funny sometimes huh? You can draw a perfectly good drawing, very good, but still hate it because it wasn't what you were going for. BTW, what's the new website theme, I'll have to draw a new avatar.

I know your cash/internet situation, I just keep harassing you because you're probably the only person who may get as addicted as I tend to. Dave and Glen are cool to play with, but they fit games around their working and drinking time. That's just not how it's supposed to be. I'm not legitimately pressuring you, I'm just keeping you in the loop on what's the hotness in case you suddenly are able to play online.

There isn't really a new "theme" for the website. Basically, I just use a lot of red, army green, and gold. Oh, and stars. Lots of stars. I may still stick loosely with the communism thing, but I'm losing the molotav cocktails and gasmasks as those seem to be what says "terrorism" to most of the people I've heard from. You can pretty much do whatever you want, as I'll give you your own page and tailor it to what you do.

so I can keep the psuedo-nazi uniformed avatar I made for myself? I'll send it to you to run through illustrator. On the subject of illustrator, do you have any way of finding it for less than the 170 dollar retail? I might download the trial, but I'm interested in upgrading my art tools.
