Your rendition of Violet is superb. And you must have used a compass straight from schulz's drawing board because Charlie Brown's head looks perfect. How many times did you have to draw it?
I use a lightbox, so I traced a pencil sketch (not a Schulz, that's cheatin'). But I erased and redrew the pencil sketch so many times the paper was wafer-thin.
I use a light box, but I might have been tempted to trace an authentic Charlie Brown head. Either that or lay my my head on the paper and trace around it.
I believe Violet merely flinched and let the ball roll away from CB's kick. It was Lucy who actually came up with the action of pulling the ball away. The germ of the idea may have been Violet's, but Lucy really made the thing work.

Yeah, but she's bitter, 'cause she screwed up. It coulda all been hers, if only she'd been the fussbudget.
