Sorry Mom, sorry Dad!

I told myself I'd never get too personal on my blog, but I can't help it...I'm so in love with my new magic haircut. I don't really "get out" all that much though, so I don't get to show it off! Sorry guys! And sorry parents, don't disown me!
It's magic! It's short on this side...
and long on this side!
These things make me happy

And now for the thinking part...
When I first started drawing girls and using magazines for reference, I would say "screw actually looking at the magazine! I'll just get inspiration from it, and change the parts that are too hard to draw" and I made lots of wonky pictures. Then a couple years later I got all serious and crap and started studying the magazines more, trying to get all the anatomy better and ignoring all the cute details that had distracted me before. Now I'm bored of being studious and I'm back to using magazines mostly for inspiration.
I like how this girl turned out. I'm curious about other artists that use photos for reference...what features on this girl would you have pushed further? I ignored her face and drew a somewhat generic one, and took more interest in her funny standing pose and hair shape. I added the lip sticking out because I thought the girl's pulled up turtleneck was so cute. I should have made it stick out more!
