Of course! what part do you specifically want advice on? Poses, shading, patterns etc?

I usually use poses from pictures on pinterest or google, but I also pose in the mirror if I can’t find what I’m specifically looking for! (I did this for kingston’s art HAHA). The style is pretty standard — ie, the head is usually the length of the torso. The girls are very skinny though, which I’m not entirely comfortable with, so I tend to ignore the proportions for the arms/waist/legs (Eg: I’m a big fan of biceps, which Addy has, while Ting and Kingston have strong leg game). I find it visually appealing when the ocs aren’t all identical (physically).

Generally, it’s just a lot of studying and referencing! I really like this advice! I relied pretty heavily on what’s written here when I first started drawing in the EAH style. This is also why I don’t exclusively draw in it — it can be quite restricting and I don’t learn much when I use the eah style.

but (and I hope I’m not sounding preachy or patronising when I say this), art isn’t as important as how well the oc is written! Take Addy’s personality away and I doubt she’ll be as fun a character as she is. On the other hand, without her art, I’ll still enjoy creating content for her!
