/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

Hey guys I was hoping to get your opinion on a something. Does this character read as male? I mean, he's meant to look like a soft brat but ideally not to be mistaken as an actual girl.

Is there anything I should change to emphasize this if I'm not pulling it off? Any general rule of thumb I should be following? I really don't want to fall in to the 'draw a girl, call it a boy' trap.

ps. pic rel is still a WiP, the outfit has onlybeen roughly sketched in.

Very nice, anon.

Hoping to call it done and have moved on to roughing in clothes.

>I think ie neck, ribcage/pelvis since go hand in hand, waist.
Yeah a friend did a redline for me and I saw how off it was looking.
>Makes head/shoulders feel frankensteined in
They kind of were. I used ref for the torso and arms but everything else was imagination so that's probably some of the issue.
> Linework is excellent however, face is cute.
Thank you anon!
>Draw foot coward.
Post ref.
