My novel's main character is Em. She is 17 years old. Average height (around 160cm), slim but sporty, not trained or muscular by any means but I guess fit could be good word. Her hair is light brown and it reaches mid back in length. Her hair is slightly wavy. Her eyes are bluish with some grey in them. She has soft facial features
She has an ugly wolf bite mark on her left wrist.

She likes to wear comfy and pretty basic but feminine clothes. Or alternatively a bit shaggy, used and oversized clothes (a light blue t-shirt with a panda on it). The clothes don't really matter too much.

I hope that was good enough information. I can tell more if needed.

It'd be interesting to see how someone draws my character who isn't me. Here's the description if you want it:

A tall and lean built young man in his late teens with a tawny complexion. He has muted dark blue eyes and thick curly brown hair that stops just past his shoulders. He has a strong jaw and somewhat full lips. He has the tendency to dress in multiple layers of elaborately colored clothing such as scarves, tunics, and sashes. He's cocky at times but appears subdued to most. A pretty boy but is also very clearly a young man growing into something handsome and regal.

Even if you don't pick it, this was a fun exercise. I never realized how hard it is to describe a character to someone else :joy:

This seems like fun. I'm fond of fantasy, so the characters have some unique features.

One character is named Kestrel. She's about 14, and she's the cliche happy-go-lucky character. She has blue eyes, a slightly pudgy build, about 5' 1" (155 cm), brown eyes, and a round, friendly face that usually has a smile. She has wings like a bird and short feathers for hair that are blue and pale-orange (like the bird she's named after.) She wears a short-sleeved shirt with no back, long and comfortable pants, and slippers.

This seems like an interesting idea and I hope you find something you enjoy sketching. Good luck.

Cornelia Clark Fort was about 24 and already an abundantly qualified flight instructor when the Imperial Japanese fleet attacked Pearl Harbor. She was in the air with a student, and, well, that lesson went sideways fast.

Hmmm... Would you like to do Kimenia?
She's got hair that fades from red, to orange, then a light grey, like fire to ashes. She wears a bandage to cover her right eye, and keeps a shackle on her ankle to remind herself of when she was a slave to her master Ri'rin. In book one she wears some tattered clothing, because she usually works in the mines for her scholar. She also has a pair of headphones that she occasionally uses. Her clothing is baggy, and she wears a lot of accessories, including a key on thread as a necklace.
She's about 5'5" and pretty thin, due to her time as a slave.

Here's an excerpt on her:
Her body was still and hushed. One arm hid beneath her pillow, the other fell outstretched and limp over the side of her bed. She slept on her back, as she seemed to do whenever she felt exhausted. Her blanket was wrapped around one of her legs as the other dangled out awkwardly. She wore a loose-fitting shirt and all of her bracelets, necklaces, and other accessories – right down to the shackle on her exposed left ankle. I saw the key dangling from the side of her bed and traced its thread back to her throat. Her headband concealed what I could see of her face, keeping her right eye covered, as usual. I glanced down to her shoulder and traced her exposed skin. Her long, scarlet hair covered everything that was supposed to stay hidden. I noticed what I’d been doing and scratched at my skin to distract myself.

And one her hair:
Teyurin growled, then stepped forward calmly. He waved his hands over Kimenia and the dye flooded away like the enchanted aura before.
Her hair lit up the wall beside her with a soft glow. It flooded from one color to the next. Red faded into a bright orange, which faded into a calm grey. Like flames bursting away into embers, floating down to rest beside her frame.

(Sorry if that's a lot to read!)

Thanks! I look forward to seeing how you draw him. Feel free to click on my novel link2 though if you need some refs. I've drawn him a couple times for the banner, ad, and a post on my dashboard.
