She’s off to catch butterflies.

A Southeast Asian girl, age 7-9, walks to the left, from the viewer's perspective. She has a butterfly net over one shoulder and holds a small book with a butterfly on the cover. 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 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.

Hey, look. We broke 100. Two thirds of this project posted.

I’m not sure if I’ve ever drawn a trumpet before, so this was fun. I also enjoyed the argyle pattern on his sweater vest far more than I probably should have.

An East Asian boy, aged 10-12, stands playing his trumpet. His cheeks are puffed out as he blows. He is wearing a white collared shirt, green and white argyle-patterned sweater vest, khaki slacks, and black sneakers.

Another character with brightly colored hair. Tie-dye patterns are fun to draw.

An East Asian girl, aged 10-12, smiles into the wind as she rides her kick scooter. Her long black hair is worn loose flying behind her, and she has the ends ombre dyed pink. She is wearing a white-striped black helmet, purple and pink tie-dyed tank top, black biker shorts, and purple sneakers.

I really enjoyed doing the stripes on this child’s tank top shirt and I think the color choice came out nice.

An East Asian child aged 7-9 stands wearing a backpack. Their medium-long hair is cut in an undercut and pulled back into a ponytail. They are wearing a light purple backpack. They are wearing a white t-shirt with a striped tank top with a scalloped edge over it. They're wearing scalloped-edged leggings and sneakers. The clothing colors are primarily teal and white, with darker blue and purple accents. Although the clothing style is traditionally feminine, the pose, haircut, and facial coloring deliberately read more masculine, creating an overall gender ambiguous look.

This girl is about to show off her skill with a lasso. The rope used for a lasso is stiffer than a regular rope so that the loop at the end will stay open when it’s thrown. I looked up what this should look like before I drew it to make sure I had it right.

An East Asian girl aged 7-9 holds up a lasso. She has a larger body size and her long black hair is in double ponytails. She is wearing a western-style shirt, jeans, and cowboy boots.

This kid’s heading to the beach.

Their long black hair is pulled back in a low ponytail. The boogie board has an image of the sun over water with some seagulls in the air.
