Hihihi! Do you have any tips for drawing the demonvn cast? (Specifically Lillie, I always draw her too cute; her Unsettling Girl Swag eludes me)

Number one thing to keep in mind is that her default expression is "staring at people with her eyes as wide open as possible," but in a way where she isn't aware that she's making others uncomfortable.

^slightly less creepy example

Her expression tends to be pretty blank and, at times, hard to read. This isn't to say she doesn't emote - although, the ways she does tend to be a little strange to her classmates. It often feels as though she's operating on a different set of social/moral values than the rest of them.

I do like to also draw her with more realistic features from time to time, though. This is whenever she's being overtly unsettling about something. Almost like you're a mouse who's been spotted by a predator.

^2 seconds before death

You can still draw her cute, though! She's meant to be a bit of a cutie patootie!
