This started out as a self portrait (with my new, short hair), but I didn't like how it was turning out. I made my eyes too wide and a couple other little problems. It does look like me, but I figured that I could do better. So, I gave her pointy ears, long eyelashes and a different ring (changed from my wedding ring). I like it much better now. She looks like an apprentice who is either very interested in what her master is teaching her, or trying very hard to stay awake. Either way, I think it is cute!

Aw, I know that expression. It's someone trying to stay awake in class. Or staring at the clock wishing your professor would stop his yapping. Hehe, this is so cute. Glasses are cute, expressions is cute, pose is cute. You must be cute :-P

I don't know why you don't like this picture; it's really frigid! (Frigid meaning cool.) I agree more with the trying to stay awake theory... Keep drawing!
