Concepting a new character, cause I felt that a King that ruled a whole continent wouldn't have just one child to pass his throne to, so my OC, Pandora now has a younger sister, Ophelia.
Ophelia has a similar two toned hair colouring to her older sister, and in concepting, I found myself favouring bulby shapes, so I themed her on a specie of dragon in my story called an Embaflai, a palm sized dragon with butterfly wings that radiates a flame that humans can't touch. She's about 10 years old- I don't normally draw children, so I hope I got her age about right. Personality is still WIP.
Till then, I find it easier to concept if I have a drawing of the character in front of me :)

Fortunately though, I have a lot of characters with really fleshed-out personalities in my head who I can subject to practice. I just need the time to DO it.
I'm not certain whether I would read her as 10, but she at least falls into early teens. And my age estimates are sometimes wonky irl, so Me misreading wouldn't mean anything. :p
She looks like she might be a bit shy - but also like she could keep and use a secret if she needed to. Take or leave that as you will.
I'll do some research on how to draw 10 year olds. I may have the face shape a little too long. I'm not use to drawing children.
Funny you say about keeping secrets and stuff. I had contemplated a version of her which is learning dark dealings on the side, and her growing up to want to take the country in a different direction cause of it, but I may not want to do that kind of character for her XD We'll see. I'm glad you like her
And one of the previous daughters is stone? That sounds like some dramatic backstory. Who'd he miff for that to happen?
I'm still learning skin tones, but the olive family of skin tone is how I originally wanted the residents of their country to be, but I didn't know how to colour that and they ended up being only a slightly dark shade of pale ^^; I had no idea just how dark the colour I wanted was- I'm glad I know now I just need to practice colouring correctly (I'm not sure how I'm gonna do it as dark skin photographs terribly.). So far though, I think I'm no longer scared to vary the colour to brights or darks so I think I can do some formal training in colour theory without panicing That's a big step for me! XD I use to be so scared of colour XD
