Fifteen years old — the oldest boy, on the edge of manhood but still clearly a boy, always clean-shaven. Tall and lanky, all elbows and wrists, a head taller than his brothers. Skin: fair, weather-browned across the nose and cheekbones. Hair: dark brown, straight and neatly combed with a side part — the tidiest head of hair in the family. Face: a long serious face, steady grey-blue eyes, the beginnings of his father’s strong jaw. The dark-blue neckerchief he always wears; stands notably taller than the other children. Always in the SAME outfit every scene: a grey wool jacket with sleeves gone too short, a dark-blue neckerchief knotted at the throat, sturdy dark trousers.

Reference description (sent with every page)
Fifteen years old — the oldest boy, on the edge of manhood but still clearly a boy, always clean-shaven. Tall and lanky, all elbows and wrists, a head taller than his brothers. Skin: fair, weather-browned across the nose and cheekbones. Hair: dark brown, straight and neatly combed with a side part — the tidiest head of hair in the family. Face: a long serious face, steady grey-blue eyes, the beginnings of his father’s strong jaw. The dark-blue neckerchief he always wears; stands notably taller than the other children. Always in the SAME outfit every scene: a grey wool jacket with sleeves gone too short, a dark-blue neckerchief knotted at the throat, sturdy dark trousers.
Life stages
The same Rowley baby John at every age they appear in the series. Draw a stage to age it from the canonical likeness, or pin a real photo to the stage it actually shows — even an old one — and the younger stages age down from it. Give each stage an outfit (clothes are era and station — a boy in England dresses nothing like a father in Utah) and every page at that age keeps it. Lock a stage once it's right so it's never redrawn. Each is generated once and reused across every book.
Ages Rowley baby John to each empty stage — about a minute per stage, drawn once and reused in every book.
