Cheerleader FRUSTRATION!

Ugh, I'm very frustrated right now. I needed something fun to do tonight, so I decided to draw from movies that had actresses I liked in them. "But I'm a Cheerleader" inspired me as soon as I saw the DVD...I really like both the main actresses (Natasha Lyonne and Clea DuVall) because they're super unique looking. Really cute, yet totally unconventional. HOWEVER...for some reason I couldn't get any of the drawings to really resemble the girls. It's making me MAD!
Natasha Lyonne is really neat looking. All her features are unique, and fit together in a very strange but wonderful way. I'm mad at her though, because even though I did about 50 drawings (no joke) tonight, I could only find 4 that were worth showing. And those 4 are bleedy with marker and kind of bland.
Oh yeah, I'm also mad at her because I'm jealous of the outfits she gets to wear in this movie.
Here's Graham (Clea DuVall), the love interest in the movie. She's got totally individual features too, which I failed to capture. She's also a great contrast to Natasha, who has very round, soft looking features. Clea has a very striking face with lots of subtle angles. I'm going to try again with sketching these gals though...maybe tomorrow!
I didn't make up this outfit...it's in the movie, so don't go calling me a pervert!
Here's one of the side characters, Hillary, played by Melanie Lynskey. She's interesting too. Actually, most the actresses in this movie are interesting to look at. So I'm going to recommend this movie to anyone in need of good girl inspiration!
