5:24 me rn; tired. And your following point about ears is 100% something that should be taken into account when drawing non-human characters, as it falls on a rare line of features we don’t have but still understand pretty well due to cats and dogs and such. A prime example of this is in the first three seasons of The Dragon Prince (great show, highly recommend; the first season’s animation is a bit clunky but you get used to it; also the second arc had a bit of a rocky start but it’s recovered. I digress); something the first three seasons did well was have a lot of movement in the ears of the elves, which was a really subtle and endearing way to show emotion while also reminding the audience that the elves aren’t humans. So great point to keep in mind, especially when drawing multiple species at once.
