Post cute boys drawn in styles that don't necessarily fit the anime style. Comics, old book illustrations, cartoons, retro advertising, mascots are all welcome here.

I was in those threads here and at /v/ posting shot characters, but that's just a coincidence lol.
I don't see the resemblance with the drawing I just posted though... Well, maybe a little?

I love this one. Something about the face and hair on the right feels quite modern to me. It feels humanizing, I can easily imagine them having a personality just like any other 12 year old despite the outfits and distance of time

Very nice, found it in higher quality. Apparently this is an illustration from the russian translation of Mark Twain's The Prince and the Pauper.

Wow what a...fascinating rabbit hole I have gone down. He's kind of nightmare fuel, but at the same time, I'm very intrigued by this character. Seems like he was the shit in the early 1900s. Thinking about drawing him...maybe 'cute-afying' him??

Pinterest would be your first start. There's other places like deviantART obviously and then Artstation. Pierre Joubert was probably one of the most prolific boy artists since his biggest client was the French equivalent of the boy scouts, and he had contemporaries who did similar work like Michel Gourlier and René Follet.

Also try getting into Euro/BD comics. Some of the most gorgeous boys I've ever seen were found in boys' adventure comics. Best part is that BD boys are drawn to look like boys, not "girl, call it a boy" like in a lot of anime.
