Drawing help

I'm going to formally induct my girlfriend into the Baldur's Gate series via a LAN game. For the occasion I decided to make a proper likeliness of myself in the game, so I've edited a portrait that sorta looked like me to look a lot more like me. I'm only a little capable with GIMP however, so while I can make less-detailed adjustments, I can't actually draw.

Here's what I want to do. It's not a much, a final touch really. I want to add a pair of glasses to 'my' face, but I just keep failing at drawing it poperly. Is there anyone here who can draw well enough to do that? I can't post the picture here since I have no idea who the original artist is. I won't distribute edited art without the express permission of the artist.

I'll send it to whomever feels like helping, with the understanding that it cannot be reposted online, anywhere.

Why don't you just copy paste glasses from another picture?

Because I want it to look good.

Asking for it on GB is a shot in the dark though. I edited a picture for Dragon Wench once, so I know it has been done at least once before.. if by me. ;)

Send me the picture and I'll see what I can do.

It turns out I was able to settle for my own glasses. Thanks for helping me Curry, I really appreciate it. :)

The Baldur's Gate series are sorta going to be my christmas gift to my girlfriend. I wrote a little introduction guide with pictures to the BG2 classes and everything. Veldig koselig. ;)
