I also am having a hard time with the hand drawn pics. My kittens are only about a week old. Can anyone tell me how to tell? Maybe I should post some pics?

What color are the parents? What color are the kittens? I can help you a little if I know that - but pictures would be better

The best written description I have found was this:

With the kitten upright (as though standing on it's feet) the genitals of a female will look somewhat like an upside down exclaimation point, while male genitals will look more like a semi-colon.

The urethra and anus are also closer together on females.

Here is a decent visual
