INTERSEX OUTLINE: Turner Syndrome outline


This is based on photos of people with Turner syndrome.
It’s eyes are cartoony to be cute.
The brown dots on her hands and feet are moles but they can be Nevi meaning spots that differ in color from the rest of your skin.
It’s to use in your story and you can edit it using Paint.NET from getpaint.net or Ibis Paint X which the outline was made in.
This is base for you all to draw on and you can credit me by saying “Made by God and NEW_IDEAS on the episode forums”
Girls with turner syndrome are beautiful and come in a lot of shapes and sizes.
This base was meant to make children with Turner Syndrome.

NOTE:
Not all of them have the same symptoms which is why some photos will be added.

These pictures were put here to show you what people with turner syndrome looks like but you can use paint.net or Ibis Paint X to trace them and make your own character off of the tracing (which basically means you only trace the body shape but you don’t make it look like the person you trace it off of, unless you have to, otherwise, you make it look like something or someone else)
