Manga face

A manga is a Japanese comic/cartoon figure and is characterized by big eyes, small mouth, pointed chin and so on.. This is my entry to the Digital Whisper Challenge for creating a manga face from a normal picture. The challenge link is given below which has a link to the tutorial on creating a manga face.. It is amazing how a few changes in the shape of the eyes and the mouth changes the entire face and out comes a totally different person!
