well I looked at the picture, without going back to view the rest of the site, and honestly, I can't tell you why the girl would be crying "crocodile tears". To me, she just looks like she is crying.

First look at the phrase, "crocodile tears". Usually, we say someone is crying these when they don't really feel the pain that they are conveying- that they are lying. (OJ, with the Nicole Simpson case. Because everyone thinks he did it)

it would be mean to draw him doing that (not necessarily if he did it (or if you just believe it)), but there you go, there's one example you can use

crocodile tears also happen when someone is crying and you and maybe somebody else think it's because they're sad (or feeling guilty about something they NEED to feel guilty for) but they're actually crying because they're angry

my cousin cried when my grandmother lectured her, and her parents were here, and she started crying and going on, but my mother said they were crocodile tears because T. was actually mad as hell.

people on the stand that KNOW they did a crime often cry crocodile tears to cover it up. Or try to. If you can draw anybody like that, there you go

or you can actually draw a crocodile, but dress it up like someone you think would cry crocodile tears (with a hat, clothes, etc. that would make that person recognizable) and make him cry

Or draw Bush and put some tears on him, while waving a flag

are these any help to you?

Crocodile tears is false or insincere weeping, a hypocritical display of emotions. The expression comes from an ancient anecdote that crocodiles weep in order to lure their prey, or that they cry for the victims they are eating.

An alternate explanation for the expression's origin is that crocodile tears cannot be authentic because crocodiles cannot cry; they lack tear ducts. Yet this is a myth:
