#so is quite hard figuring how to make them lovable without making them angelic cupcakes

I feel there is pretty much 3 types of “visual ugliness” most people goes at when drawing, lets say, unfavorable looking characters

The over the top ugliness that you are only drawing as a joke or that you give to a negative character that will never be more than the physical representation of gross and awful. The temporal ugliness of a new oc we didn’t make the best looking on purpose but that lets be honest, we all are gonna start polishing the more we learn to draw them, each time making them nicer and more charming looking out of our own appreciation for them. And finally a weird confusing “ugliness” you aren’t even sure if it count, becuase you know those trails are socially considered ugly physical trails, but you like them in such way that honest to god, aren’t sure if you actually made them ugly or just someone pretending to be not attractive
