And speaking of yellow cartoon people, Isn't Grog supposed to be like art directing this painting for me or something? How come Grog didn't catch how off the eye brow was, or the ear thing? He must be reeeaally busy with that movie thing! (poor Grog!)

If you want GROG to get nit-picky, then GROG suggest watching out for TANGENTS, lines that seem to run into each other at a point. Personally, they not bother GROG too much unless they REALLY stand out. This is one of the BIG things they have us watch out for on The Simpsons (and other productions as well). GROG know BRAD know what GROG talking about, but since your thread is also a good TEACHING thread, GROG figured this is good time to help out other artists and art enthusiasts as well. Some art is designed to have tangents so that lines flow into lines, and some tangents are done on purpose to lead a viewers eyes to a certain point.
An example of tangents in a drawing:

Elements moved a bit to get rid of tangents:

The tangents in your painting don't really stand out too much and are fine if you want to leave them as they are. The painting's looking awesome. Keep up the good work (you bastard).
