This is another where I used that flower stamp that I have to scatter flowers for the shirt pattern. I also really enjoyed making the balloons semi-transparent for this look.

A Southeast Asian child, age 7-9, stands holding a bunch of colorful helium balloons. They are wearing a long-sleeved, button-up shirt with a purple flower print pattern. They are wearing tight jeans and black high-top sneakers. Their black hair is shaggy.

One of the recurring themes in this project is winter. So, here’s a boy sledding.

A Southeast Asian boy, age 7-9, sits in a red, plastic sled. He's bundled up in winter clothes. He's wearing black snow boots, jeans, a blue puffy coat with hood, light blue mittens, and a matching light blue knit hat.

She’s off to catch butterflies.

She is wearing denim overalls over a purple and white striped t-shirt. She has white sneakers with pink laces. Her black hair is in double ponytails, but only the one on the near side is visible.

I’m definitely getting practice drawing bicycles and scooters and such in this project.

This batch is Southeast Asian people.

A reminder, since it’s been awhile, of what these images are. These are art samples of the work I did for Learning A-Z last year. The project called for 150 unique characters, isolated on white, with an emphasis on diversity (age, race, body size, ability, and gender identity). To make certain we included examples of all major racialized populations, all but two batches were designed to represent specific races.

Technical note:
This site is hosted on WordPress.com. I use automated social media posting with their JetPack plug-in to reduce the amount of manual posting I have to do. Previously, twitter was one of the companies that was supported for auto posting. I hadn’t used this feature for several months since I deleted my twitter account. However, today I noticed that, as of May 18th, twitter is no longer supported at all, which I thought was interesting. More on that. In addition, they added support for auto posting on Mastodon and Instagram. This is excellent news as that takes care of 2 of the 3 sites I was still manually posting to. This will be a helpful time saver. Anyway, I just set up auto posting for Mastodon and Instagram and I’ll be watching this post to make sure it all works correctly. Hopefully it will. 🙂

I know next to nothing about skiing. (I’ve always been afraid I’d break my leg if I tried.) But I hope I got this guy’s gear correct anyway. I used references to verify.

An elderly East Asian man stands in ski gear, ready for the slopes. He is holding his blue and yellow skis in one hand and matching ski poles in the other. He's got ski boots, snow pants, an orange puffer coat, a yellow ski helmet, and orange goggles.

I particularly liked drawing this one because when I go hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park I go wearing all this sort of gear. She’s got her sunhat, which folds up to fit in her backpack. It’s a hiking backpack, which fits better than a regular backpack and has straps across the chest and waist. She’s got hiking poles, which effectively turns a person from a biped to a quadruped and helps with stability on treacherous footing. She’s got her water bottle on the side of her pack, although a camel pack might be better. And she has sturdy hiking boots, hopefully well worn-in. She looks all set to go. I don’t think this is her first time hiking.

An elderly East Asian woman walks past in full hiking gear. Her long gray hair is in a bun under her blue sun hat. She has a turquois hiking backpack with a water bottle in a side pocket. She is using a pair of hiking poles. She is wearing a long-sleeved white t-shirt, gray fleece vest, khaki pants, and brown hiking boots.

I wonder what they’re playing? I feel like it’s something beachy. I took way too much time making sure those strings, frets, pegs, and all the rest of it was correct.

An East Asian person stands playing an acoustic guitar. Their black hair is in a pompadour style. They are wearing a cream sweater with a hood, jeans with wide cuffs rolled up to mid-calf, and slip-on sneakers. They have blue nail polish.

She looks like she’s having fun, doesn’t she?

I don’t like drawing baseball caps. The bills give me trouble for some reason. They’re easy to draw backwards, though.

An East Asian child, aged 10-12, stands holding a galvanized bucket of fresh vegetables. Two carrots, a cucumber, and a red bell pepper are visible. They are wearing a red baseball cap backwards over chin-length black hair. They are wearing an oversized white t-shirt tucked into wide-legged jeans with wide cuffs rolled to mid-calf, and red hi-top sneakers.
