Last one for this batch. I think he’s heading out to the golf course.

An old man stands with one hand on his hip, smiling.  He's Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander.  He is dressed as if to play golf.  He has a green polo shirt, green and black plaid golf shorts, and white sneakers with green trim.  His hair is light grey, nearly white.

Here’s our second muumuu of the batch. Also with a floral pattern, but a bit of a different style this time. I had-drew these blossoms instead of making a stamp. I did copy-and-paste some of them, though. I also painted her toenails.

An old lady wearing a long, red, floral print muumuu dress.  She's standing with one hand raised as if waving.  She is Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander.  She has her grey hair pulled back into a loose bun at her neck.  She is wearing flip-flop sandals and has her toenails painted red.

The pattern on this shirt was based on a vintage Duke Kahanamoku design provided by the client.

A Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander man walks towards the viewer.  He is smiling and gesturing as if speaking.  He has shoulder-length black hair.  He is wearing a Hawaiian shirt with a geometric design open over a salmon-colored t-shirt.  He's also wearing black jeans and multi-colored sandals.

Moving on to the adults for this batch. She has a nice outfit, doesn’t she?

A woman stands with one hand on her hip.  She is Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander.  She has a larger body type.  She's wearing a white t-shirt, short jean jacket, leggings, and pink sneakers.  Her straight, black hair falls just past her shoulders.

Last one for this batch. I was particularly proud of the folds on his slacks.

An elderly black man stands with one hand raised as if waving.  He's bald with a beard.  He's wearing a blue dress shirt with slacks and dress shoes.

Look at that hair!

An elderly black woman stands with her hand on her hip.  She's turned in profile to the viewer.  She's wearing a purple plaid sleeveless blouse, jeans, and flats.  Her gray hair is in cornrows gathered in a neat bun.  She's wearing glasses.

Our first adult for this batch. Her headscarf was fun to draw, getting the knot and the stripes right.

Black woman standing with hands gesturing as if talking.  She's wearing a t-shirt, cardigan sweater, jeans, and sneakers.  She has her hair wrapped in a red silk scarf.

Here’s a new one for that same series I’ve been working on.  Seems our girl has been texting in class.

Perception – WIP

May 4, 2012May 14, 2012Leave a comment

Yes, I’m still working on this one.  The crowd scene is boring to draw, so I’m dragging my feet.  But I thought I’d share this.  This is the same character as an adult and as a child.
