These pages have been taking me quite a while to draw... still feel like I'm easing back into it! I keep comparing the art to Vol 5 art and worrying that I've gotten worse. I think it's fine though 😂

kissyoulots

i’m always truly obsessed with your page layouts

MMurray

Alice, your drawings look great. How do you draw them so consistently the same? I know it's been years of these characters, but when you were starting to draw them... x

milo !

charlie gets to wear the stripy tie now 🤭

Hazel S

I love the younger kid with glasses looking at them - it feels like they're seeing the world of possibilities in Nick and Charlie 💫

Annika D.

I can literally see the thoughts of the boy on the right in his face - "thats what I want, too"

Jasollie

Our queer sixth form role models for the young students! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

They are holding hands how cute they are 😭♥️

curiouser&curiouser

We're so happy to have these boys back, they could be stick figures and we wouldn't care. 😆

D

The intertwined hands! Stunning!!

Martine Scarabea

Holding hands on public, I'm screaming svdjksjbsbs! Thank you Alice for beautiful journey you are writing for them, they are cute couple and deserve the best.

NotSoYoung

They're so beautiful together

James

Alice it looks great! Hope you’re enjoying drawing again nonetheless ❤️

Lilly Mae

PDA alert!!! 🚨😍🥰

Heather N.

I literally thought before reading your caption that your ability to capture them gets better every page! (And it was great before to be fair)

Megan Fitzgerald

Aaahhh I love this page! (and before I read your caption, I was just thinking "wow, the art has somehow gotten even better!")

louise

The detail with that young boy noticing Nick and Charlie! Reminds me back when they first began dating and how scared they were, their relationship has grown so beautifully!

Tiffany L

Definitely NOT gotten worse. It’s so lovely. The little freckle-faced kid to the right of Nick 🥹 love his face, in awe of the Truham celebrity couple.

Fran

They are THAT couple 🩷🤌

Loveislove

Representation for the younger student with the glasses!

Lindsey S

The baby gay in the background looking at them 😭😭😭

Kit

omg the amazing example and hope they are showing the younger students that they can love who they love ahhhh gonna cryyy. Power couple, through and through. Tag yourself, I'm the kid in glasses looking at them in wonder.

Tracy

Beautiful artwork as always xx

K

I'm not crying. (I am crying, they are too cute and they got so far I can't 😭 )

hsmandy

Alice it’s so sweet and wonderful your art is amazing! This could be a poster

Mandy Kumler

It of looks great. I am so excited you are sharing your process with us. My heart stops a little when I see the patreon notification (see what I did there?🫶

Rhonda Mitchum

I love how confident they are!!🩷🩷🩷 they are soul mates

Elena

"Nick and Charlie" is the most normal thing now and that's beautiful. 🥰

Bela Francoeur-Schug

Such amazing role models for the young ones. And I can see that they still both have to muster a little courage, being out, but they are also unapologetic.

sarah lynn

You have not gotten worse! You are so unbelievably talented and it shows in all that you do!

Julia Schmidt

I love that the younger kids are like omg who is THAT

Denis Moura

This feels so much like that twilight scene where Edward and Bella arrive together at school and everyone’s looking

Laura Humber

Power couple! Stand tall and show them all boys ❤️❤️

Diana N

It’s absolutely wonderful!! I love them holding hands and seeing someone saying that’s Nick and Charlie ❤️

Vicky Saumell

Amazing drawing, Alice! Love Charlie’s long hair! And Nick’s! And holding hands! ❤️

Cellina Buzzell

Why am I getting teary-eyed over this 🥺 ugh their confidence.

Chloe ♡

they’re both being the perfect role models for the younger generations showing them they can be their true self 🫶🏻

Olivia Brookes

awwww ICONS and what are you talking about, “it’s gotten worse” NO???

Cliff

Perhaps my all-time favorite page! Yay Alice!

Scott Whittall

You keep bringing us the magic, Alice. I know everything must, but really can't believe this wonderment will come to an end soon.

Ava

Ugh they are just perfect💕🥹

Amanda Wetterer

Alice, your drawings are incredible! I love Nick and Charlie just holding hands while walking into school like, yup we are N&C!

zara ahmed !!

i don’t know if this was the intention but the kid with freckles looking at them in wonder makes me so 🥹 it’s kinda beautiful to think their simple act of love could ripple into doing good in that school

2catlovers

Thank you @Alice! I needed me some Nick & Charlie this morning! Also, is the student on the left wearing a kipporah? Just wondering….

Ann-Marie Still

The little chap with the glasses 🥹 this is going to be so beautiful and needed. Looking up to the big kids. Role models 🍂💙💛🍂

Bryn

me every time you post a page: “that’s nick and charlie”

Emily

They’re already a power couple and Charlie’s not even head boy yet icons

KatieS

More than fine!

Jay

future head boy and rugby king making their way through the crowd. They are the moment, and a huge inspiration to all the new students, with them just being themselves 😭🫶🏼

Melissa Llll

Uniforms! Subtle uneasiness in Nick’s face but still standing confidently, Charlie taking a subtle peep to make sure he’s okay and it’s also giving pride in his out bf all at the same time. So well done! 🥹🤍

Katie H

It's definitely more than fine; it's amazing! 😍 I love how Nick and Charlie have become confident and comfortable in themselves ❤️ 'That's Nick and Charlie' - love that they're famous at school 🥰

Bee Levy

theyre campus celebrities 😭 and what an experience for charlie!! to walk into truham followed by awed whispers rather than cruel ones, with his head held high and his boyfriend next to him?? i could honestly cry

Jennifer Cooper

As an American I’m a little confused. Are they both sixth form at the same time now that they have done their GSCEs. Because they are both doing A levels? It looks so great really. ❤️

ama

"that's nick and charlie"😭

Noemiette

Oh I will fight you on that "worrying that i've gotten worse" !!! You just drew them on almost a full page, head to toe shot, which requires more realistic anatomy and details (compared to head to toe in smaller frames), so yeah that's gonna take a while to draw. And for the previous pages, you did multiple above angles on some frames, you keep playing more and more with lighting, adding more details, doing more precise expressions and perspective. Sorry but not allowed to doubt that your drawing skills keep getting better and better 😤

Larisa

I love how comfortable Nick looks here, just casually walking in school holding his boyfriend's hand 😍😍😍😍😍

Ruth

Wait can someone explain English school to me because I thought they were still at Truham, just in sixth form?

Loveislove

Fingers crossed for the end of Harry's homophobia - I sense a redemption arc ahead.

Mark100

I love the (implied) tone of the kid saying "that's Nick and Charlie," as if to say everyone's heard of them and nobody messes with them!

laura

this page hit too close to home… i remember back in school these two older girls from who were openly dating. they don’t know but they helped me a lot to realize that maybe i wasn’t the only girl who also liked girls. 🥹

Carolina Ramirez

We’ve come so far!😭😭, I love seeing them holding hands and being comfortable about it🤍

Vicki Lewis

My heart could burst for these two right now! Perfection ❤️ thanks Alice

KimS

I like how at ease Nick looks, out and proud. These last two pages have reminded me of the novella, here in how much more comfortable they are at school and the previous page with Charlie’s little white lie to Sarah. So I can feel the threads of the previous volumes intertwining with some of the N&C threads

aliceoseman

Correct. There are two year groups in the 'Sixth Form' - Year 12 and Year 13 (the equivalent of junior and senior year in the US). Charlie is in Year 12 and Nick is in Year 13. They're both studying for their A levels! Hope that helps :)

Amanda SILVA

I love Charlie's hair so much💞💞💞💞

Rafaela Molero

I love to see them so big now 💗💗

eva cuervo

Nick's confident expression and the pride and love with which Charlie looks at him. I'm crying 😭❤️

Claudia Schulz

This is so nice. I feel so so touched and seen in this frame. Thank you for making me happy cry 🥹

KayKay

You are doing so well Alice! I love this page so so much. It’s going to change young people’s lives. Those younger boys looking up to them make me weepy 🥹

Puppies&Kittens

Wow what a contrast from where we started! ❤️ Especially for Charlie who used to be followed by a very different set of whispers. They look like they are still setting into the attention but you got this boys!

Hannah Howden

These pages are beautiful!! Also it’ll be okay boys 🥲

reece

Stawppp alice before I read your caption I was just thinking about how your drawings keep getting more incredible 🥺the subtle details that are showing up more and more are my favorite, pls give yourself love and grace!! We appreciate your art sm, but I know it’s easy to get self critical 💕

Gregory Toner

LOL they are officially “Nick and Charlie” 💖

Heather N.

I am tearing up over their confidence here. It’s freaking beautiful

a

THE IT COUPLE!!!

Eryk

Your attention to detail is what makes your drawings even better!! You always hit the mark and makes the storytelling THAT much deeper for every single reader.

ally

alice your art is always so lovely we appreciate all that you do 🩷🩷🩷

Alisha Buchanan

Such a good moment to shine a light on. Queer relationships are still gawked at regularly.

raina

it looks absolutely amazing alice!!

Galen Longstreth

Alice, you're like Charlie in Season 2, Episode 8. "Does it look bad?" And we're Nick. Your drawings "look . . . so good." SO good!

2catlovers

I love how Charlie is carrying what I assume is his head boy application. He’s not clutching it too hard - it’s just in his hand, like he’s invested in it but not panicking about it now. Way to go Flirty Nick for settling him down!

alae

THE TRUHAM IT BOYSSSS!

Barb

they look so so so good together, radiating self- conscience, ease...my love for them fills my heart every day🫶🏻💕

Tiffany L

I think it’s this page is meant to show the impact of their relationship on the younger students. Like “oh wow! That’s Nick & Charlie” (one entity!) - they might be the youngest students at the school (I think Truham starts at year 7, not sure).

Courtney McAlexander

the pages are BEAUTIFUL, Alice! Thank you so much for sharing these lovely characters with us.

Alia Sagara

The drawing is beautiful as always! ❤️

moon

truham’s it couple !! 🙏🙏

dominique

I’m absolutely projecting here, but the way that kid with glasses is looking at them seemed to me like he’s thinking maybe he can have that too and it’ll be okay. Love this page so so much

Claudine Newman

I know we are often our own worst critics but the art work is perfect as far as I’m concerned.

Flor D. la Peña🍂

Like I said from the beginning of this volume, your art only keeps getting better Alice 🩷

Debbie

Sixth form in Scotland is literally just the 6th and final year of high school! So even for me the English school system is different! Despite us being basically neighbours haha. I'm glad you and the others said this, it definitely helps!!

M R

Confidently waking together at school, they'd grown so much🥹🥹🫶🫶🫶

Zoe S.

Alice, please don't ever doubt yourself! This is stunning, seriously 😍

Lainey

Loving the volume 6 art! beautiful as ever💕

Jen

It’s wonderful ♥️🙏🏻👏🏻

Gemma 🍂💙💛

First time seeing Charlie in the sixth form uniform!!! (I think?)

Rowan Murphy

I love it - it’s amazing how you’ve gradually matured the characters! Your artwork is absolutely fantastic!

RO

I was actually just thinking how much I’ve loved your style lately, you just keep getting better! Beautiful page today 💕

Coralee Hoots

“You’re Nick and Charlie!” 😭😭😭

Kate

No one’s art makes me feel as good as yours does Alice! You’re incredible 💖💖💖

chloé

there used to be two parts to a levels (i did mine 12/13 years ago 😂) , you would do exams in both years. AS in year 12 then A2 in year 13, together they’d make an a level. but they changed it and it’s just alevels in year 13, so year 12 you just study.

Lisa Punky Girl

You drawing is amazing please don't second guess yourself even though I know you will. I am so excited to see them at school in the open happy!!!🥰🥰

Sulagna Maitra

Charlie and Nick's expressions!! 🥲🥹🥹 They have come so far! I love that this panel gives a celebrity vibe...the almost velvety black uniforms, the cool creases in all the right places the shoes....it's like Nick and Charlie know others are watching them but they also very much don't care....or at least Nick doesn't 😂

Darcy

This feels like such an arrival moment? Like it finally clicked into place. Heartstopper Nick and Charlie have finally grown into who they are in the novella. It's kind of taking my breath away. 🥹 Also, the foreshadowing of "You're Nick and Charlie!" "What does that mean??" 😭

Jepo123

You are such a talented artist!

Claire

The new Truham students looking at Nick and Charlie is not a surprise. Hopefully it is showing some of the new younger ones that they can have that too one day. The drawing of Nick and Charlie is lovely. 😍

CinD

A little bittersweet that something so normal as holding a loved ones hand is being so scrutinized, however them just being them is probably inspiring other LGBTQIA+ members 🥹

Jeffrey Ricker

Oh, it’s more than fine. It’s fantastic. ❤️

Maya

The younger student in glasses is giving the same awed expression as charlie’s first impression of nick from the q&a 😭 so lovely!!

eva cuervo

How important it is for children to have references. And in Truham, Nick and Charlie are. They are so brave!!💪❤️

dpfw

Hooray for representation!

Jacqui Chesterton

Love seeing younger students clock Nick and Charlie (and maybe think ... "that could be me 👀")

Oliver

Oh trusssst that you have not gotten worse, Alice ❤️❤️ thank you as always!!!!

Cody

I love how you portrait Nick's confidence in this page. His face tells it all, the growth in himself by holding hands with Charlie at school. Charlie shows growth and development as well by looking at Nick. Just wow, Alice. I also love the leaves

Katie🐝

Omg I looooove this

Lolli98

Love this comment.☺ But I get you, too, Alice. Perfectionists...😉

Tina

so those people wondering are new students bc the rest of the school knows about them, right?

Carly Louise

LOOK. AT. THEM!!! This page is beautiful Alice 🩷

Nicola Hart

I’m loving this chapter so far …

Ciara

Yes boys!!! Influencing those young students by being your authentic selves 🥰😍

Justin S.

Nick & Charlie, dynamic duo ❤️

S S

Yea! Is the first day of school so those are probably first years

shpepanie

Oh Alice 💜 Your art is so beautiful. You don’t need to worry! I love Charlie’s calm and relaxed expression, looking at his boyfriend’s face and holding his hand in the place that used to be so scary and unsafe for him. He is safe now. What a journey it has been. And Nick as well! Even though he was one of the rugby lads on top of the school food chain, he had so much to figure out about himself and find it in his heart to step out of the comfortable surroundings. He has found who he is and he is happy. You have an amazing talent to tell so many stories in one page as well as sparking the reader’s curiosity about what is happening next. The details are amazing. 🤍

Rania Gollakner

They look great, it’s like coming home ❤️❤️❤️

Lolli98

This picture of them holding hands has so much power! I'm an adult and it's giving even me self-confidence right now. You do an amazing job for younger people and everyone else!

S S

Neutralized is such a funny word but applies so well to harry jajaj

Sarah

Alice the art looks *So Good* I cannot emphasize this enough. ANd look at themmmm ❤️❤️

hllwds

my mental health wasn’t the best lately and i’m so glad that Heartstopper is back, even though this is the last chapter. their journey as a couple and as individuals brings me so much joy, thank you Alice 💕

a book dragon

I second this! It's 2024 and my spouse and I have never held hands in public. 😔 I have so much hope for the younger generations.

Ana Thais Vargas

The Power Couple!!! Charlie looks at Nick a little worried, just checking and Nick is unfazed! YES to confident and comfortable in his skin Nick!!!

Loveislove

Lots of references to the Nick and Charlie novella, but hey, it will have to be a little different now right? Let's keep checking Nick's phone is working ok 🥺.

Dippity_Dip

THATS RIGHT THEYRE THE ULTIMATE COUPLE TRUHAM, STAREEEEEE

Rebecca fritz

I love how they became the school power couple worthy of the tale being told to lower years

a book dragon

The art is as beautiful as they are adorable! ❤ The only thing that looks a little different is Nick's shoes maybe?

Ania W.

This is such a powerful image of love and self-confidence that it takes your breath away. Nick's attitude, Charlie's look.

Ele79

❤️❤️

Lily T

if it accounts for anything i LOVE seeing how your art changes and improves through the volumes!!! i think these pages look amazing so far! them being recognized at school means so much to me. the CONFIDENCE!! the rugby captain and future head boy!!!!!!

Ariel

YES we love our boys becoming proper celebrities - so comfortable with themselves and their relationship. Look out Truham! 🍂 (also I love all the leaves so much)

RuthieW

I love the little fellow off to the right with little freckles. Like it is younger Kit Connor/Nick watching and seeing possibilities for his future and being ok.

Beatriz Santamaria

This is such a powerful drawing! Love how confident they look! It's good to see how much they have grown and evolved ❤️

Scotsman

What a strong picture 😊 Soulmates 😌

Dionne Lakey

It's the start of the new school year so this are probably the youngest school year's first day. They're new students.

Christie

It's great Alice. 💜

Fern✨

It looks great Alice !! You’ve certainly improved^^

Dionne Lakey

They're all grown 🥺So proud of you and them.

Siska

😍 love them so much!!

LV Reid

As beautiful as ever Alice!

MJ

I love how Nick looks so sure of his relationship with Charlie - like he's not going to let anyone's opinion change his mind about publicly holding Charlie's hand. 🥰🥰🥰 they're so precious

MJ

Also- very nice detaling on the belts! It's one of the few ways they can show their own personality with a uniform. Even though it's a small detail, it feels like the styles totally match them!

Audrina

They're famous

Beam Bugge

those sixth formers are indeed dating 🤭🤭

BEL

I think we are all jealous of what they have together. And Alice, you are just so amazing at how you convey their love for each other. Beautiful pages , every single one of them.

Jordan

They made it to school on time!!! Jane can’t get mad now :) Also they are having a little Beyoncé moment causing all this conversation 🥹 ✨

Jo S

If you see it you can be it!! ☺️ Love seeing them so confident Alice - all the things they have been through leading up to this point! Nick saying ‘I like my life’ Reminds me of N &C walking through the umbrellas in Paris and seeing the couple holding each other - N & C then holding hands and C then leading N so confidently . For the younger boy looking at N &C this is his moment of belief! 😃 I love that we are able to witness this wonderful story , thank you and your art is fab!! N & C - life as it should be! 🥺🥰🫶🏻🫶🏻

Ashley Robinson

I needed this today. So beautiful and inspiring. Your story gives me hope in this world.

boombroadcast

lol wellll I wouldn’t say he’s a friend or someone they’re cool with, but he’s more of a mildly irritating gnat in the periphery than an active threat now!

Joni

Are they Truham famous? 😜 Also, they seem pretty comfortable even with the attention, which is nice. Your drawing is amazing as ever, Alice! ❤️

Sarah Duzynski

Your drawings are wonderful. I love how confident Nick and Charlie are now to hold hands publicly at school. Such a change from when they were worried about making their relationship public and when Nick was worried about coming out to his friends.

Victoria Panaro

The second panel is like a parallelism when they are in Paris and saw that couple holding hands in the street. Now that boy is looking at them the same way and wondering how it is gonna be for him

cassidy cassidy

I like how it's just something normal now, I read there faces as "Yes we are dating" and that's it. It's no longer something they feel awkward about expressing of feel like they have to express for other people, it's their thing and I love that

Nils

For some of these kids this must be a relevation. 2 Boys holding hands in public. It will be even more amazing when they learn that one of them is their schools rugby captain, the other is applying as head boy. They will feel this school to be a safe school

Nyssa Rawther 🍉

They are literally so nonchalant about holding hands at school now. I'M SO PROUD OF THEM!!!!! BTW, I'm literally IN LOVE with Charlie's hair 🥰🥰🥰

S S

I think the same about their shoes! Such a small detail but gives them even more personality

Harriet Echo

Literally the most handsome couple of ALL TIME 🥹🥹🥹 loving their shoes, belts, chilled expressions, clasped hands… the details are exquisite 🙌🏼🥰❤️

Flor D. la Peña🍂

I just love the leaves on the ground (just noticed) well, I think they’re on the ground and the fact that that shows they’re real makes me emotional idk if this makes sense ? Jsjsjsj 🥹❤️🍂🍂🍃🍃

PupFenrir

Alice, your art as always is beautiful, exquisite and so detailed. You capture the scene and panels and emotions so perfectly. Although I believe our boys are in need of a long overdue haircut 😁😆

Laurenjedi

Charlie is stressing me out carrying his application. What if he drops it and it gets lost 😭 Alice, your art is so so beautiful, always ❤️❤️❤️ I hope you are being kind to yourself.

Andie

Them holding hands confidently brings me so much joy 😭💗

Kat

I love how subtly the iconic leaves are incorporated into this page. Plus the look on that boy’s face to the side is everything <3

Ada Suzany

HEUHEUSHSUSSHHE I LIVED FOR THIS have a nice day dear Alice ✨️

Shanie_MC

Charlie looks so confident and Nick looks so relaxed. They really have grown up a lot! They're owning Truham like the power couple that they are!

Siero

ur art is amazing alice!

Shelly

Alice!!!! Your art is so beautiful. And perfect.

RCM

Charlie's hands are so well drawn here! We JUST saw him nervously biting his nails, and now, he is walking into school with his (super cute) boyfriend, being fully stared at (with some hopeful "that could be me!" looks!), but look at his hands! They convey the sense of calm and control...Charlie isn't gripping or bending up the application, he is just confidently and casually holding it. And their intertwined hand hold is so soft AND so secure, showing how stable and grounded they feel. They are ready to take on this year because they support each other. SO WELL DONE!

Franny

You are so right. And Alice is having the same rippling effect on the readers. This is incredibly beautiful!

Franny

It's not just that the art is beyond perfection. The story line is there too! It is incredible how you are combining these two skills, Alice. And I say beyond perfection, because no perfect stuff ever gets done. This is soooo meaningful. Thank you so much ❤️ I feel that this will be an inspiration for so many queer people for many many years. Even when we're long dead. This is truely powerful stuff, Alice! Thank you on all our behalf.

Irene.a.f

I'm so happy my loves are back! Thank you, Alice 💖

Murgy

Its a beautiful scene that also captures their growth spectacularly. And gives something that I'm sure many of us older fans would have loved to see when younger: a confident and happy LGBTQ+ couple being openly themselves. I can see this page being one of the most shared when its posted on the other sites. And god damn has it brought a tear to my eye. I don't think you need to worry about having gotten worse Alice, you've still got it, despite what the worry gremlins say.

Adriane Tanjutco

If I didn’t already have a Nick and Charlie tattoo, I would get this one of them holding hands

Anna Deligio

They look great. Same heart as always. ❤️

KA

Alice, your art is so beautiful - detailed, meaningful, loving, and expressive - thank you for sharing your process and this story 🤎

rickettyuncles

Well, I can vouch you haven’t lost your touch with their hair,Alice: back of Nick’s head still makes me swoon ☺️

Come y entrena mx

I really melt with this one! They’re looking so mature now, I realized how Alice detailed the inner and outer growing of both.

Ashley Robinson

The beginning of last school year they walked to a empty classroom to be together, but they are out and proud this year. 😎

Ashley Robinson

Maybe the year 7 kid that Charlie made cry were happy tears and not sad tears. 🥰

Noah

“that’s nick and charlie” 😭

Maya Justine

It’s fun picturing these comics as stills in the tv show (God willing— S4?) and I really hope that costumes and makeup have Joe grow his hair out! I love the external markers of Charlie’s growth, I feel like it symbolizes the way he’s loosened up

boombroadcast

Long hair comic!Charlie is wonderful, but Joe’s curl texture is quite different, so I’m not sure it could really be replicated in live action. It also wouldn’t be possible to show his hair growing out over the course of a season (like the way it does from vol 4-5), because they film scenes out of order… and it wouldn’t make sense for Charlie’s hair to suddenly be long at the beginning of s3. (iirc Alice has mentioned that that is why Tori will have her bob at the beginning of ep 1, versus starting out long as in the comic. Not worth the trouble of using a wig/worrying about continuity.) The good news is Charlie’s hair is fantastic in all mediums and at all lengths!✨

Maya Miranda

Ahhhh I love Nicky and char so much 🥰🥰🥰🥰

LissiLeseratte

Beautiful!!! I absolutely adore this page 😍

DioVosje

This is without a doubt the best page ever drawn

Katia Gómez

I love the page!!😍😍😍

Eileen

Love this one!!

Liz🍂

Is Charlie looking at the little boy or is he looking at Nick? I thought he was looking at the little boy, but everybody is saying he’s looking at Nick, and now I can’t tell lol

Krystyn

It’s more than fine! It’s beautiful actually. You master Charlie’s curls.

Beam Bugge

he's like a virus that just needs a little vaccine and then he's harmless

Beam Bugge

which one of them is Edward and which one is Bella 🤔🤔 (it is canon that Nick used to have a crush on Robert Pattinson which makes me want Nick to be Bella and Charlie to be Edward)

Jomaries Amezaga

“Nick and Charlie”! 😭 The best representation at school, a sweet, healthy and beautiful queer relationship! The best example for the younger ones. 🥹🥹🥹

Oliver Midson

I wonder if that young lad in the glasses will return at a later point?

I can’t draw for shit so I’m always impressed by drawings of bodies in motion. It’s cool the way Nicks right leg is bent at the knee in mid stride. It looks “real”.

Ohhhhh so gorgeous 😍🥰 I can't even imagine the ways my life could have been different if there were confident naturally out lesbians at my school ❤️💖🙏

Just noted in 1589 Charlie doesn't have a jumper on - Nick must have warmed him!!

Does Nick not have the rugby captain badge anymore??

Rhonda Mitchum

Is Nick still rugby captain? Where is his rugby badge

aliceoseman

It's so long since I've drawn Nick in his blazer, i'd totally forgotten about the rugby badge! 😂

As an old(er) fan of 59 I wish this had been a reality in my youth. The fact that it is becoming part of the reality for my younger community members is validation for all of our struggles. Yay to all the Nick & Charlies, Tao & Elles, Darcy & Taras

I was a bit confused for a moment The Patreon watermark made the kid with the glasses on the right look like he needed a shave.

Robert

They just look so good together.

Rhonda Mitchum

I love the guy says "that's Nick & Charlie" yeah that explains it all❤️❤️❤️

Bianca Kleinekoort
