Description "Grandfather, do you think I'm...odd?" Maria asks, holding the book closer. Gerald turned to her from his work. He raised his eyebrow.

"My granddaughter odd? Where did you get an idea like that?"

"I don't know. It's just that, well, people talk. They found me...different. It's because I'm sick, isn't it?" Maria said. Gerald chuckled at her.

"They talk about me, too."
---
No, we're not odd, it's true.
No fam'ly could be saner.
Except one uncle who...well, maybe let that pass.
In all you say or do,
You couldn't make it plainer,
You are your mother's daughter; therefore you are class.

So I should just accept,
I'm simply not like them.

They are the common herd,
And you should take my word.
You are unique: creme de la crème,
No matter what you do,
I'm on your side.
And if my point of view,
Is somewhat misty-eyed.
There's nothing clearer in my life,
Than what I wish and feel for you.
And that's a lot...
No matter what.

No matter what they say,
You make me proud.
I love the funny way,
You stand out from the crowd.

It's my intention my invention,
Shows the world out there one day.
Just what we've got...
 
No matter what.

Now some may say all grandfathers just exaggerate.

That ev'ry granddaughter's great?
 
You are!

And ev'ry daughter tends to say her grandfather's tops.

She pulls out all the stops.
To praise him.

And quite rightly!

No matter what the pain,
We've come this far,
I pray that you remain.
Exactly as you are,
This really is a case of grandfather knowing best.

And granddaughter too!
 
You're never strange.

Don't ever change.

You're all I've got.
No matter what.
---
Maria and Gerald hugged each other with love.

Just a little thought of drawing this and knew the song could fit them both. It's my first time drawing Gerald.
"No Matter What" is from the broadway version of Beauty and the Beast. I had to change "father" and "daughter" to "grandfather" and "granddaughter".

Hope you enjoy!

May i give advice from one artist to another?
while everything is drawn nicely you need to work on side profiles. The eyes are too close to the nose and needs to be put back alittle bit, as well as the head needs to be a bit thicker. A nice trick is to make the width of the head the same as the height. Remember even with very cartoony styles you still need to study real life and know proportions, when you do this art will look much nicer. Especially with anime styles.
Here are some tutirals to help
