        Genuinely tho, can someone tell me how? Anime character have ageless faces as the standard, even anime parodies make fun of this.

        If someone drew my partner, who is a very well proportioned 5ft nada, with a generic anime style, the ageless result would look like the image in the OP. The image even has an hourglass figure. Where does the “child” idea come from?

        • Face is short and rounded
        • Childlike positioning of arms and hands, which are small and thin like seen in children
        • Bows in her hair
        • Childlike pout

        This really does look like a kid with tits. No bueno.

          Ok, I will bite.

          • Face is short and rounded

          For this to be true her head would have to end above her eyes. Her face is clearly oval.

          • Childlike positioning of arms and hands, which are small and thin like seen in children

          Art which doesn’t not comfort to the anatomy of humans doesn’t exist?

          • Bows in her hair

          I am truly saddened by the fact that at 18 we lose “bows in hair” license 😮‍💨

          • Childlike pout

          … What’s next ? Child-like posture or walking ??

          This really does look like a kid with tits.

          If you would look at anatomy of adult woman and child you would notice that child’s torso sides are usually flat while woman’s have curvatures

          If you want to make valid critique then you could have noted bigger head. Head on children is proportionally bigger than on adults

            Gotta argue with this point

            Art which doesn’t not comfort to the anatomy of humans doesn’t exist?

            That’s obv not what they were saying, cuz this is obv anime. But… the hands are the size of her eyeballs, her head is bigger than her entire torso, her neck is as thin as her arms which are thinner than her pupils. Well maybe not exactly, but the point is that real children have a similar head to torso ratio (relative to adults) and thinner and smaller hands and relatively larger eyes. Anime artists know that.

            The point isn’t that the proportions aren’t human, the point is that they’re exaggerated in a way that’s closer to the size of a child. So the artist can make it unrealistic, but why make it unrealistic in a way that most people would see it as child like?

        You must be reading some weird manga if its messing with your ability to judge whether that’s a child.
