Part 1 focused on faces. This part is more about how bodies are affected. A lot of the same stuff applies.

Of course this is VERY general. There are a million factors that can affect how a person looks in old age, this is just the most basic guide.

I get kind of frustrated when I see characters in media who don't look their age. It's especially bad with female characters...I think part of the reason is that we aren't exposed to anything besides young, fit people in media, so we don't even know how to draw realistic older folks until we actually study it. It's always jarring when you think a character is in their 20's, only to find out they're a hard-drinker in their 40's...riiiiight. Lazy, ineffective design work imo.
