Reblogging because NAMING IS HARD

You draw the most ADORABLE kids and babies. Do you have tips for drawing little ones so that they actually look like little ones and not weird renaissance devils?
I apologise in advance if this is the equivalent of "just do it" but my best advice is really to wrap your head around skull structure and how it affects what faces look like!
Of course you can just pinpoint some basic things that make a character look younger (bigger eyes, softer/rounder jaws, smaller noses, etc) but - at least to me - that understanding is more solid if you think of what's happening under the skin, kinda like:
And same for the rest of the body! Babies and children tend to have more "chibi" like proportions but stylisation can definitely go very wrong there 😅
I literally thought of the third one and then it manifested in the notes

(From the audiobook - Chapter 47)
"Do you really believe Tamlin's claim? That he's been working for our side?"
"Yes."
A beat of silence down the bond.
"And perhaps we did him a disservice, by not even considering the possibility. Perhaps even I started to think him some warrior brute."
Oh? Really?
Good thing you came to this conclusion before making any big irreversible and disastrous decisions :)
I'm oh so glad.
#Elmo's so real
I too don't really know what I'm gonna do in the next five hours.

Since it’s Valentine’s Day I have a lil headcanon
Ever since he was little Milo always tried to do up Valentine’s Day for Marie, because Colm never did anything. It led to a lot of hand made crafts and cards, and a lot of burnt breakfasts that Marie still pretended were good.
Even if Milo is an adult who doesn’t live at home, and has a Valentine of his own, he still makes sure to get his mom a gift, a bouquet of flowers and a card (that Sweetheart now helps him make).
