Moving onto the adults, here we have a Muslim woman with a prosthetic leg.

A deaf child signing, “Friend.” I think space buns are my new favorite hairstyle to draw on little girls.

A child who uses a walker. Some walkers have a seat on them like this. Looks like they’re catching their breath before planting that little tree. They intentionally look a bit tired, maybe unhealthy, though there were no specifics given on what condition they have to make a walker necessary.

A blind boy in raingear walking with the aid of a white cane.

This image had originally called for the boy to have a guide dog, because a kid and a dog are inherently cute together. But when looking for reference images of kids with guide dogs, I learned that blind kids don’t actually get guide dogs. You generally have to be 18 for a guide animal. I relayed this to the client and they changed the specs. So, I guess I sort of took away this boy’s dog and gave him a cane instead. If it helps, later in this batch there will be a man with a guide dog instead. Not as cute, but more accurate.

I was proud of several things on this one. The wheelchair, the leaves, her face at that upward angle. I think she’s enjoying herself.

A skateboarder with a prosthetic arm. One of those 3D printed ones in the fun colors. The client chose the colors.

I particularly like how the kid’s t-shirt print came out. This was changed in the final phase with the client instructing me to create a geometric print for their shirt.

The long hair was included both to help show a little more movement and to make the character’s gender a little more ambiguous.

This one was fun. He’s cute, throwing that snowball. And drawing winterwear feels so warm and cozy. I enjoyed drawing the little detail on the hat and gloves so much that I went on to decorate several more characters’ winter wear the same way later in the project.
