Question

Post Body

trying to draw an older character here (like 33 idk) but the eyes make them look too young. Or is it just how it is? Like are old people even supposed to have big eyes?

also this is for like unrealistic art, I'm talking webcomic level unrealistic.

Here's an example from Star Trek: Lower Decks. There is a difference in eye size and shape, but the crows feet and grey hair also make a difference. There's other subtleties - Beckett is drawn a bit slimmer (even in the neck), has bigger eyelashes and a smaller nose etc.
