Okay, not really, but basically. There’s a reason you don’t have to know your head circumference to find a sunhat. We all have pretty similar head sizes, especially from the visual distance we usually draw characters.
The only exception to this is babies or children under 10. Those guys definitely have smaller heads! (But did you know our skulls are already over 90% their full adult size by the age of 5?)
Different style choices demand different proportions, but in general, it’s good advice to pick a head size, and stick with it!
Big characters don’t look like average sized people scaled up. And you can’t just scale down to get a small person!
You can make a character look very big and tall or very very small — even if they are standing alone in a vast white nothingness — just by how how they are proportioned! The most important proportion (in my humble opinion) is their head size. Look me in the eyes and tell me you can’t tell which of these characters are big and which are small.
The most common head sins I see happen when an artist is trying to indicate (body) size difference in a couple, and use their heads to do it. The result is an image that looks something like this:
If you don’t want your lovers to look like they belong in different animated tv shows, don’t go shrinking anyone’s head! Use their bodies (hands and feet and bellies and muscles) to show off their size differences.
Anyway, that’s all. Having fun giving head. I mean doing head. I mean drawing heads.
veeee
Here ya go

In theaters this fall...
To be fair, children can be quite sadistic at times, but with the help of parents (or parental figures) learn that their actions can hurt others and have consequences.
However, the Collector (as far as we know right now) didn't have anyone to teach them right from wrong. Due to how powerful they are, I'm guessing anyone that DID try to teach them good morals might have caused them to have a tantrum and got severely hurt or even died.
Hey, you seen the new For the Future trailer yet?
I have, yeah! I think I'm starting to see how they'll balance the various facets of the Collector's portrayal so far. I'll admit, I've been a bit concerned about them - they come in pretty late, wielding more power than anyone else in the series (except perhaps the Titans themselves), and their portrayal bounces back and forth between cruel, sadistic god, and lonely little kid that may or may not be aware of the consequences of their enormous power. Very excited for all the lore drops (and of course, for Camila to finally see why Luz fell in love with the Demon Realm)
I love drawing digitally and playing video games, but what I don't love is crawling under my desk to switch the cables because godforbid putting two HDMI-cable holes
