Thank you! That is the fun of doing female Enjolras, the chance to play around with visual gender markers. With the visual culture of anime and such, mixed with traditional art notions of Greek ephebe beauty (which was always Hugo's vision for Enjolras anyway), it's cool to see exactly where the line between male and female is, or if it even exists at all. It also helps you hone your art skills, having to justify to yourself why a man looks like a man and a woman looks like a woman, and which facial features can be manipulated to change the perception.

Thank you! With some drawing styles it would be pretty impossible to tell a man from a woman (ahem, some anime...lol), but my male Enjolras has usually got sideburns and slightly more angular features, which is how I tell them apart. I also don't usually draw lips on my men, so when I draw lips on an Enjolras, it generally indicates female Enjolras.
