(Not Curly) Tops

So the "Curly Top sketch I did a few days ago was an experiment in constructing interesting faces, but I felt like the face I drew was a bit old and not hip enough to be model material. At first I thought the hair was too young and tried changing that, but I realized that the aesthetic of a tall, prominent nose and chin were the things dating the look. True enough, a younger, softer-featured face felt more au courant.
