Age Chart Thing (Patreon)

Kind of how I draw different ages, sort of.
Could also be finished or used as a general base for YCHs or an Age Chart reference or AR comp. for any interested. Or just a general reference for if anyone has a preference for which general range/height a character should be drawn. I worry that I draw a character too old or young looking at times.
I consider Children to be more chibi-like and usually are easier and quicker to draw. (Kids are usually softer shapes and not as angular or curvy as teens or adults, and babies are pretty tubby. I'm very not used to drawing infants.) Which is why there's a cost difference in my pricing between commissions for adult characters and child or baby furry characters. It's a bit easier to draw child proportions since I started drawing by copying anime cels and manga art with chibis.I was especially a fan of drawing shoujo styles like Tokyo Mew Mew or Sailor Moon art for my friends who adored those series, and also liked the style of the D.N.Angel, and +ANIMA manga series. And those styles have VERY LARGE eyes, small noses, and bigger heads which lends itself easily to drawing "cuter" or younger looking characters.
I tend to draw heads too large, or too small. Bless digital art and photoshop for correcting myself. Finding the balance between BOBBLE HEADED and PIN HEADED for older characters can be rough sometimes LOL.
