Tutorial for drawing characters with Down syndrome.

DISCLAIMER: Please keep in mind that this is an introductory drawing tutorial and has some generalizations in it, so not every “X is Z” statement will be true for Actual People. It's more of an overview of features that are common in people with Down syndrome, not meaning to imply that every person with DS has all of them 👍 thanks.

If you draw any characters using this feel free to tag me.

I collected my art tips on hands over the years. It ended up being 54 pages of notes I took and some guides I tried to create for myself. Maybe some of these can be useful to others as well. You can buy the pdf here or join my Patreon to get it for free.

Boring tired disclaimer: Keep in mind that this is an introductory "drawing" "tutorial" and has some generalizations in it, so not every “X is Z” statement will be true for Actual People. Which happens to be true for everything in general. Links below so that you can research and do a nuance. Ones that were directly mentioned are bolded.

It is legitimately wild how many of you see a post that says "hey here's a ton of examples of things people have added to a trans woman's photo that are not only embarrassing internet speak and creepy, but actively are sexually aggressive and inappropriate" and instead of thinking for a fucking moment that "wow, maybe I've said something like that before, I'll change my behavior going forward", you think "well certainly MY loser internet speak and sexually charged micro aggressions are wanted." You people are literally indistinguishable from dudes who holler at us on the street, except those fuckers at least have the decency not to hide their sexual aggression behind fake nervousness and soft boy shit.

Like there is no being nice about this. I don't care if you're fucking 19 or 107 or if you're autistic or if youve never been allowed outside or if you got a purple pinky toe, it's chauvinist behavior and you can either cut that shit out or slowly watch the circle of people who want to be around you shrink to no one besides other fucking chauvinists.

The internet and 'real life' don't have a hard distinction. If you wouldn't walk up to a woman you don't know and say it or wouldn't be embarrassed if she overheard you saying it , you don't fucking add that shit to the tags or the comments or the post. It's embarrassing and makes women uncomfortable. Fuckin grow up or shut the fuck up.

i want butch lesbians and studs and masc/gnc gay and bi women of all sorts in my movies and shows I do! but regardless of gay representation I also just want to see women who arent very glamorous like all they wear are nasty sweatpants and oversized hoodies and NO MAKEUP and its not in a Sexily Dessheveled way they just look like shit. for the love of god i just wish women were allowed to look like shit on camera to the same extent as men are. i really mean it #LetWomenLookLikeShit

the floating head of wisdom

Please don't fall victim to internet misinformation. There is no floating head. It's a regular horse, it's neck is just hidden due to the position of the camera. I made an image to help you understand the what's actually going on.

Thank you for the clarification
