Hi, I'm new to this site and trying to make characters. But, I'm having trouble describing the ways they look. I can see them in my head but, I don't know how to describe them to other people. Does anyone have any useful charts?

for eye color, I suggest going to http://www.obsidianbookshelf.com/html/eyecolorlist.html, it's amazing!

Thanks, anyone have other websites or charts?

If you can't tell, I love pinterest lol. If you don't have a account, I suggest creating one. It is so useful!
Hope I helped! Good luck with your characters <3

Thanks, these are going to be really helpful!

Does anyone have any resources for more unusual skin tones and eye colours, e.g. not natural for humans?

Anyone?

For unnatural eye colors. Just type in 'shades of __' and then look at whatever color and its name. I think you can do that with skin tones too

Does anyone have a body type chart that includes kid's body types?

I would just say slim, petite, scrawny, gangly, stout, chubby, soft/round, skinny, flabby, bony.
Not much, sorry.

I kind of agree with @TopazWyrmlet~, there isn't much to say other than that. But you could put things like, 'has short legs.' Or 'Has large hands and ears.' and things like those!

@Celestial-B, yeah, pretty much :)
