Pro tip: there is exactly one eyeball space between your eyes. Some introductory "how to draw heads" reference (eg. search for Andrew Loomis Drawing the Head and Hands PDF) would probably be helpful.
If your gimmick is subjecting us the same face drawing over and over again, whether we want to see it or not, at least have the common courtesy to learn the basics. Thanks.

This one's a mess. I see books but I also see you there too PC.
spacejack - Cartoons and caricatures aren't supposed to be photo-realistic or anatomically correct.

Good cartoons and caricatures, even extremely stylized ones, always show an awareness of human proportions. It's what separates the good ones from the bad.

An awareness of, and obedience to, are hardly the same thing. Look at the Simpsons, there's no space at all between their eyes; Family Guy/American Dud have exaggerated chins and cram the rest of the face in the top third of the head; Peanuts has every feature of the head in the wrong place; Betty Boop? don't get me started. It would seem the less realistic the rendering, the better the cartoon fares.

Whether it's drawn right or not, it sucks as art OR graffiti, and it sucks to look at, so whatever...
