Oh gosh since I could pick up a pencil I guess! I drew a lot of pkmn fanart since I’ve watched the anime a lot as a kid lol. I mostly wanted to draw girls…
I wasn’t really big on tracing, I just referenced from whatever anime had interested little me at the time (mostly pkmn, sailor moon, ccs, and ygo).
When I got older I had taken art classes that did their usual “no anime, draw what you see” sort of approach. While I think the anti anime approach sucks for various reasons, I do think drawing from life is a useful practice.

If I feel particularly rusty I’ll pull out some of my loomis books (as far as I kno they’re easy to find) and recently those morpho books as they’re more compact and provide a more useful perspective on how the body works. I still have much to practice honestly, but I still have a life ahead of me! Plenty of time for improvement…
I suppose my bit of advice is to have a combination of life drawing practice and ofc see how ur preferred art style works. See how they bend the rules to a pleasing result.

Hm. Sofia obviously. Other ones mmm. Yellow pokespe… madokaaaa been looking at kanna figures too much lately… Sakura is my og loli fave…
For cartoons… I like lydia… mina… mandy… fink… tbh I can eat up a cute loli if she’s cute or funny enough.
As for teens… tbh not into them. Kid crush on raven aside I don’t really have that pull for teenagers as I do for lolis. I mean I can watch stuff with teenagers im just not gonna feel inclined to want to kiss them lol. Maybe if they’re drawn cute enough.
And my specific appeal with lolis is that they’re like young and not touched by puberty. Cute flat chested goils. Once they’re 16 im like “over developed haaaaaaaaaag!!!!” I’m sorry I’m mentally ill.

It’s a big ol bag of “wow I can’t wait to see what new adventures await for Sofia!!!” and “omg what was happening behind the scenes (I know it’s executive meddling but I gotta know the specifics) to make it shift from a royal prep spinoff to a sequel???”

Tbh I wonder how the royal prep spinoff could’ve been like! I would’ve liked to see an entirely new cast in this world haha. Elena of Avalor stood on its own pretty well. It’s easy to imagine cameos from Cedric and the young royals too lol. Also easy to imagine Sofia passing along her amulet to another new princess.

I do wonder if the intent was to feature an older Sofia, to show her growing with her initial audience. Would have been nice. But the evil lolicon in me is happy to see Sofia still a child here hahaha. A dainty little rosebud…….. it’s morally right to jack off to Sofia, the saintly loli.

The change to 11 minute segments is a bit disappointing ngl! I feel stf and eoa greatly benefited from having 22 min eps bc they’re very obviously story based. Kids should get to have compelling stories even if they’re young! Definitely an executive decision ugh. I have faith that cg and co are able to cook with the ingredients they’re given tho.

There’s things I’m wondering. Will Sofia keep her amulet or is she definitely getting a shiny new marketable item of great magical power? Or will her amulet get a cool new power up ala sailor moon? What’s her new school going to be like? Is there going to be a hot older teacher that’s hot new competition for cedric? Will cedric show up? If he does will there be a scene where he takes his shoes off? Will Sofia get to explore the mystic isles more? Will there be more hot villains? How will Sofia and co look in today’s 3d animation?

I’m just!!!! Very curious!!!!!!!!

So much rambling ahead……. I was having to come back to this every now and then trying to craft my answer…. Waaaaah. This just turned into me speculating on the evolution of their intimacy lmao.

A more just society would have allowed a graphic sex scene in day of the sorcerers. A passionate moment of deflowering… their bodies tangled together on that throne… flesh upon flesh… hm… how good it must have felt to kiss so ravenously, ouuuuugh

Cedric’s heart flutters as he finally takes Sofia for himself… any other moment he would have been frozen by fear. One can only imagine the sheer euphoria he must have felt, his pitiful little cock inside sweet little Sofia. A girl that had not yet blossomed, but why should that have mattered?

How fortunate that Sofias family was too busy being frozen to notice and take action! Hahaha.

But I can totally imagine them fooling around before that episode… how far they go obviously mirrors their growing relationship in the show.

Season one… I want to imagine him coming on Sofias amulet when she sleeps. Back when he was so sure that necklace was all he wanted… justifying it as claiming the amulet as “his.” (Cut to Elena looking up in horror vangoghdotgif). Hmhmhm… no touching is involved just yet but there’s definitely some salacious thoughts brewing. I can honestly see him teasing her a bit just to watch her reaction. Can’t look at his actions in that one froggy Sofia ep and not think ah a creep! A bully!! Heehee… Sofia takes it in stride much to his disappointment lol. Her sunny disposition and ability to just not notice how much of a creep he is… Cute…….

Season two you can see cedric warming up to Sofia a bit more. She asserts herself much like a little yappy puppy does. Visits to Cedric’s workshop become more frequent. Much to Cedric’s shock sofia seems comfortable being so close to him! As she struggles with spells or writing Cedric feels compelled to guide his hand along hers… it’s something all masters and apprentices do right? Maybe some lap sitting is fine??

Season 3… in my minds eye I see cedric growing more bold… it’s cute to see him still being hesitant to Sofias affection but when he started taking Sofias hand to dance with her!!! Oh!!!!!!! Are you going to teach her to kiss like an adult as well… you are? Oh my… little sofia starts to play with herself more. It helps when there’s no longer a presence in ur amulet acting as ur morality arbiter lol. I like to think Sofia comes to Amber for advice and Amber very easily deduces who the mystery “boy” is lol.

Sofias move is to jack cedric off. I know this. She wants to handle his magic wand. Only she may wield its power……….. she sees how happy it makes him (cut to cedric makin the most deranged o face). He’s definitely crying himself to sleep out of sheer guilt tho.

Season 4…….!!!!!! Night of the sorcerer more like… what cedric lacks in season 4 appearances I choose to believe that the two still meet in secret… rendezvous in sofias secret garden.

my little hc for the lack of cedric appearances after day of the sorcerers is that roland quietly stopped inviting cedric to perform. at first cedric was relieved to no longer have to conjure parlor tricks, but realized how deafening the silent treatment from roland was lol.

but ofc Sofia isn’t one to just leave cedric be… while she’s noticeably busy with her protector training I like to think she takes the time to visit cedric while she can. She hopes he doesn’t take her absence as he does with the silent treatment with everyone else.

Her worries melt away as soon as cedrics slender fingers slip into her panties… while cedric is still hesitant about going all the way again. He can’t deny how good it felt, though.

I like to think forever royal ended in a sex scene. Full on tiny pp in soft puffy cunny action. Rahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

My royal magic speculation makes me think Sofia will go to a boarding school so there will definitely be less castle and by extension cedric scenes (I believe in my man mister craig gerber that he’ll get his cedric lore in tho). But she is totally coming back for his cock on weekends!!!!!!!! I will have this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Possessive jealous cedric… I need a bit of that malice in him ahaha. Those charmswell teachers and students better not make a move on Sofia… they’ll sure pay!! Ehehe… hahahaha!!!!

short answer: those terms specifically? not rly

Long answer that’s just an excuse to get a little weird with it: since cedric is very much the modern answer to the classic Disney villain there’s aspects of him I like to pick at. Particularly at how it inherently gives him the queer coding that’s popular among those classics. It was very validating to hear his design was based off of cruella (and jasper).

In earlier insane autistic rambles I’ve observed he’s had similarities to the evil queen and maleficent as well. The queens full cheeks, envy towards a young girl, dabbled in wicked sorcery… Cedric also shares maleficents pointed chin, pettiness towards a young girl and dramatic entrances and exits… they all share raven companions too lol. I like cedric sharing the same evil classic milf dna.

It was also funny to read an interview with craig gerber where he likely pushed for a more effeminate looking cedric after the first concept for cedric gave him a more Captain Hook inspired look (not to say hook isn’t gay cuz he is but def not what cg had in mind lol). I like how it’s called back in substitute cedric where he’s given an unsightly mustache and beard combo.

The idea of cedric feeling uncomfortably restricted in his position and not knowing why… I like him being a sort of failbrother to cordelia and roland (he and cedric being these tragic “brothers” is a hill I’ll die on. They were raised together ofc they’re brothers). And goodwyn being so disappointed that his heir isn’t the type of man he is lol. Cedric being more similar to his mother in certain mannerisms…

I’m also particular about him being unable to blend in with his hexley schoolmates. Grimtrix and greylock are highly fruity men, theoretically cedric should feel he’d fit in right? No, he seems just as alienated by the world of sorcery as he is in the world of royalty. He can’t fit into either masculine ideal.

I like the arc concluding that cedric should be accepted as he is. It’s when ppl don’t automatically push him into the bumbling role that he truly shines. Seeing him be more confident as people judge him less is very cute. So it would be nice that cedric will likely be able to examine himself more when he feels less self loathing.

In aus where he’s more evil aligned… in a very “let it go” way she pushes for a more fem presentation bc finally!!!!!! Freed from the shackles of society!!!!!!! Be free and freaky!!!!! Become milf!!!!! Be the bad girl!!!!!!!!!! Aaaaaaa

I’m kinda stubborn pinning a label on cedric bc i like to think about identity in the context of the canon. For anyone to step in and go “I am (modern term)” here just feels really offputting to me. But I don’t like that being used as a justification to deny any potential interpretations.

But I do like when ppl she/her cedric in my posts when it happens lol. Pretty pronouns for a pretty girl. I just don’t like to get too controlling of how my art is perceived but I do feel that maybe I should be a little less vague. I guess I’m not too into the idea that headcanoning an effeminate man being a woman is ruining things. Quite the opposite really. I love women. Keep that in mind.

Hostility towards trans hc can be discouraging at times. I kno the more prudish minded tend to use them for… tbh kind of lame reasons but eh all the more reason to get real erotic and esoteric about it.

Medium answer: ye olde estrogen will save her!!!!!!!!! I want cedric to develop cute little budding breasts with cute puffy nipples!!!! Be the wicked milf you’re destined to be, my queen!!!!!!!!! Rahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!! I love women!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

epilogue: I suppose this is here where I like to see sofia present as masc in an anime prince way… sigh… it was really cute to see her final protector outfit! I think she needs to bridal carry her tall wife in that!! i really like lolihet when i can get really gender about it… yuri……………….
