Another girl, aged 7-9. I really like her rainbow-colored shirt. I based it on one my daughter had years ago that I always liked.

No fooling, we’re only a third of the way through this project. Lots more to come.

Here’s one of our gender non-conforming or ambiguous characters. Since they’re indigenous, the braid isn’t a gender indicator, and the clothing is intentionally gender neutral.

I think I may have drawn them to read a bit older than the 7-9 I was going for. Maybe I should have rounded that chin a little more. Maybe smaller hands. I have mentioned before that this project was scheduled a bit tight, right?

Here’s a little boy with glasses and a missing tooth. If I did it right, he should look to be somewhere in the 4-6 age range.

Back to this Learning A-Z project. As a reminder, this is a set of 150 diverse characters of various ages and body types, isolated on white. Here we’re starting back on batch 4. (There are 10 batches, total.) This batch are all Indigenous Americans.

This little girl is wearing a sweater with a traditional pattern.
