Sketch - Alice over the years (Patreon)

Something that I like to do is thinking about my characters' life as a whole, from their childhood to their retirement.
Real people don't stay the same all their life, they change hairstyle, gain weight, change career and many other things and that's what makes them interesting to me.So I try to imagine my own charactersgoing through the same steps in their lives.
I'm not planning to narrate and show all of Alice's life, because most of the things I would like to show about her happen in her 20's and 30's, but I still like to keep in mind the big picture of her life, you know?

This is also a good excuse to learn how to draw kids, old people and especially middle aged people, something you don't see often when looking at OCs.
