One of the best references I've found for drawing different types of girls are japanese fashion magazines. The best thing ever is driving down to Little Tokyo in downtown LA for curry rice and a pile of girlie fashion mags! These books are always filled with cute girls, striking weird poses and making funny faces. Go get some!!!
Every once in a while, I get lucky and find a manual on new girls' haircuts and styles. These are always my favorites, because they'll usually have a front, three quarter, and profile view of a model's face all on a page (although a lot of the time, the three quarters and profile views are kind of small). There is an amazing amount of variation in the different girls faces in these magazines...I suppose I could say the same for the models in american hairstyle magazines, but they're usually not nearly as appealing to draw. As far as easy to find drawing reference that IS from America, I'd have to say my favorites are Delia's catalogue, and the celebrity cellulite section in Star. I'll be posting some of those later on!
