Yes this is the same Rose O'Neill who invented Kewpies

A quote from O'Neill: “The buffoonery of the Kewpies and the passion of my serious drawings playing side by side is unusual, but not too unusual. In this droll existence, the Hamlet and Lear have always consorted with the clown.”

Here's some more of her "Sweet Monsters". This series was very personal to her, and she meant to keep all these drawings private until Auguste Rodîn insisted she show them.

You can read about this collection HERE and see more in person if you're ever in the Ozarks.

so i saw another one of those terrible “how to draw boys vs girls” tutorials on twitter that claims circles/curves = girl and squares/angles = boy and god that’s such a cold take, so i made a short, very inadequate little tutorial. I wouldn’t have posted here but it blew up on twitter, so why not lol.

so where this curves for girls and angles for boys thing seems to come from is a combination of bad advice on *anatomy* and bad advice on *character design* being lumped together into a pile of stupid.

If you want to learn *anatomy*– correct placement and proportion ect.– ignore gender. Human anatomy is more or less the same regardless of gender. Learn the bones and muscles and weight distribution, and everything else is stylization.

But if you want to learn *character design,* well you’re not going to get good characters by assigning gender to certain shapes. People are all shapes and you need to use a variety for interesting designs! Instead think about what those shapes communicate and what you want people to associate with your character. I only listed a couple of things up there, each of those shapes can mean a lot of things especially once you start combining them. But it’s pretty intuitive once you start consciously looking for shape in character design! No matter what your style, this kind of visual short hand shows up everywhere. Here’s some more examples of shapes in faces:
