I tried to have more agression in my pic. This time I didn't do the preportions right. Hise body seemed scewed, but I was more interesting in making an expressive face.

The eyes are good and decently expressive and the mouth, though it looks totally messed up, could be considered "passable", but Jesus God, what were you thinking with that chin?

Facial proportions are generally like this:

eyes are at the halfway mark inbetween the top of the head and the bottom of the chin
the bottom line of the nose is halfway inbetween the eyes and the chin
the lips are halfway inbetween the bottom of the nose and the chin
top of the ear is at the same level as the tops of the eyes, and the bottom of the ear is at the same level as the bottom of the nose

Of course, this kind of expression is going to skew the proportions a little, and everyone is a little bit different, but not quite to the degree you have here. That chin is monstrous. The ear is tiny.

Also the hair is flat and boring.

The shape of the lips is decent, and the eyes look good enough. The nose is small but shaped okay. The outline of the head is pretty good.

The chin IS huge, but could work as a cartoon style.

Take a look at some common anime/manga drawings. They help a load when it comes to proportions and facial design.

That mouth should be much closer to the chin. - Bring the chin much higher.

I would be in your shoes. Realism is pretty far our of your scope.

Hey, I wasn't putting you down. If you don't like your limitations, elect to shed them.

Also, the sideways gun is what really makes that image stand out.

I'm sorry. I freaked out. I shouldn't be saying stuff like that.

Maybe our definition of cartoon is different...

Okay. Here's the problem. She doesn't look scared enough. What did I do wrong?

It looks like her tail's stuck up her butt and she's trying to pull it out. She looks fairly creeped out about it, though.
