My friend and I are thinking about making a webcomic. We want to include a nonbinary character, but aren’t sure how to draw them without making them seem stereotypical. Is there anything that we should avoid?
Draw people, and then make them nonbinary. It's as simple as having someone say they're nonbinary, or using pronouns outside of (but possibly still including) she/her and he/him.

Just draw a human.
The fun about being nonbinary is, that we're literally not binary and can be everything.
If the visuals are already hard, idk about the plot or character.

I don't think there's anything wrong with making them stereotypical tbh, if it's in character. When it comes to drawing a character, think about the personality and what sorts of things that character might visually like in terms of haircut, clothes, etc. -- and don't restrict that based on gender. Some nonbinary people do feel restricted to only wearing "womenswear" or "menswear" but it's an exciting part of coming to terms with yourself to try and figure out what you like to look like without worrying about that anymore.
