This is a page from my current book project: Hold on Tight. It’s cute but this page was rejected, because the girl looked Chinese and over the required age of three. I can always use it for something else though. The project is due on September 10, 2007 - but there seems to be no end to the revisions.
While working on this project, I realized just how much of drawing anime/manga had penetrated my head. There were moments that I would use facial proportions and conventions thinking they’d be applicable to a range of races & faces, only to find out these were only suitable for Japanese & Chinese faces.

i think that more often artists use their own faces as their models… so you can’t help it if your characters end up with small eyes!

Yes, I always thought my eyes were fairly big… duh!!
