uhm.. first attempt to draw female toony characters..
I always had problems with that because there are so few characteristics I know to make a character look female..
but well, I'll work on that..

In my case, the main difference between my male and female characters are on their behavior, that reflects on their gestures and poses.
I also add a couple of visual hints, like eyelashes and long 'hair' (Alice's ponytail comes out from nowhere!), but, in general, my 'girls' differ from my boys on the way they interact with their surroundings.
It's sometimes very subtle, like Alice holding her [i]unclie'[i]s hand as she walks on the street or the things she likes to play with. Sometimes it's very notorious, like the pouty expression she gets when she's disappointed.
And then there's the big help I get when I put other characters on a comic strip and they all assume she's a girl. So then the reader also assumes Alice's gender by association.
