drawboy

drawboy is a term that has appeared in online communities, particularly on platforms like Twitter and Reddit. It generally refers to a young, often male, character depicted in art or media who is drawn in a style that emphasizes a youthful or boyish appearance. The specific aesthetic can vary widely depending on the artist and the context, but it often involves features such as soft lines, expressive eyes, and a generally innocent or endearing portrayal.

The term itself is informal and has emerged from internet culture, without a strict or universally agreed-upon definition. It is sometimes used in discussions related to character design, fan art, or certain subgenres of illustration. The perception and usage of the term can be subjective and may differ among individuals and communities. It's important to note that the term is not an official art or design term and its meaning is derived from its use within specific online contexts. The portrayal of characters described as "drawboy" can exist across various genres and themes, and the term itself is primarily descriptive of a visual style rather than a specific narrative or character archetype.
