Description can't stop drawing tiny Revolutionary America no sireee 

Hima draws him as being already taller than England at this time but I think he'd still be a small kid.

Awesome, I'm not sure if you heard of this battle, I think it would a good comic or fanfic for Civil War!America, the Centralia Massacre and The Battle of Centrila both on September 27, 1864 in Centrila, Boone County, Missouri. The Centralia Massacre was an incident during the Civil War in which 24 unarmed Union soldiers were shot and scalped by Confederate guerrila leader William T. "Bloody Bill" Anderson and his band of 88 raider including 16 year old Jesse James in retaliation for way the corpses of Anderson's men scalped by Union troops. In the ensuing the Battle of Centralia, a large Union detachment under the command of Major Andrew Vern Emem (A.V.E) Johnston were sent to kill or capture Anderson and his men, but nearly all 123 of the 155 of the 39th Missouri Mounted Infantry Regiment, were killed in combat including their commander, Maj. Johnston who killed by Jesse James.

I love how your sketches are so easy to see. The differentiation is powerful because of the way you shade with the watercolor look. The clothes are also draped well, and little alfie with the ponytail! I like Alfred depicted as a kid, and I also like Revolutionary Alfred with a pony tail, so it's nice to see someone who draws both. Also, whose the guy on the bottom left? //sadly hasn't watched Hamilton yet so forgive me

ahhh thank you so much!! And yess I love the watercolor look a lot, and I'm glad you like the clothing! Cloth wrinkles are hard to capture but i do my best.  The guy on the bottom right is supposed to be Prussia actually, although i kind of gave him different hair and also he's not smiling so its kind of hard to recognize, yeah.. 

Haha I feel like most folks who aren't from New York haven't seen hamilton either!! I've just listened to the soundtrack, since it's on youtube and spotify for free

You're welcome! And lol I know the struggle of clothes. And really, prussia? I like it! It's difficult to draw hetalia characters as recognizable but with historic hair styles since their cannon styles are all modern, but lol i should have figured it out from the beer XD 
For one project, I was trying to draw Spain in the style of the industrial age, and then it was ALL about the facial hair. In the end I relented and just gave him sideburns but it still didn't look like him, nor was it that accurate. 

And //cries// the woes of a New Yorker separated from their homeland.
