Craft Amor

I was cast in a local play and I'm trying to make little vectors of the various characters. I'm finding it really hard. I took a picture of myself from the shoulders up and vectored it. Then I tried to put that head on a cartoon-like body. So did not work. Next I made the eyes a little less realistic. I want these to be cute cartoons, but as my friend pointed out I look like a man. I've never been mistaken in real life as a man so I think it's fair to say I shouldn't as a cartoon either. What works in 3-D (Oh look, it's Kelly, a *woman*) sometimes doesn't work in 2-D. The one on the far right is the final attempt for the time being. This is going to take a few tries.
