This one’s supposed to be in the aged 7-9, but I think she reads a little older than I meant her to. (I think it’s mostly the glasses.)

I remember doing this in middle school. Walking through the hallways reading a book and somehow not bumping into things. I can’t manage that now.

This batch skipped the little girl and added an extra 7-9 year old. They said they were a little light on the birthday party theme characters.

I gave the client three options on dress design. The rainbow one was my favorite. Which do you like best?

New batch. East Asian people this time. The specs for this one called for a boy aged 4-6 with a larger body type wearing this specific outfit with a bug net and holding a fuzzy caterpillar.

This one is a really nice pose with lots of movement. More specifically, it’s a roller derby move, with the character caught in mid-crossover, their back skate in the air. It’s one of my favorites out of this whole project.

A Latine child, aged 10-12, is skating fast doing a cross-over, with only one skate currently on the ground.  They are wearing a helmet, hand/wrist guards, knee pads, and elbow pads.  They are wearing a t-shirt, shorts, knee-high socks, and quad-style roller derby skates.  Their black hair is a little past shoulder length and is flying out behind them.

Here’s a girl walking to school. Have I mentioned I like drawing backpacks?

The side view gave me a chance to do this fun three-tiered bun hairstyle, a bun mohawk.

A Latina girl, aged 10-12, is walking to school.  She has a turquois backpack and is using wired earbuds to listen to something with her phone.  She is wearing jeans, a pink t-shirt, and white sneakers.  Her dark brown hair is arranged in three tiered buns running down the back of her head.

Okay, so I really liked this one. I wanted this kid to be a little bit punk, or at least rock ‘n roll. I initially had them with brightly dyed hair, but the client nixed that in favor of blue nail polish instead, which was also cool. I kind of wanted to do a skull print since it’s a little edgy, but for a kid’s market we didn’t want to push it too far. Like, not pushing it at all really. However, if this kid is supposed to be Hispanic/Latine, a Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead) skull print would be perfectly appropriate. Plus, then I got the excuse to draw a Día de Muertos skull, which I think is super fun, but I don’t generally get a chance to draw since it’s not my culture.

Anyway, I think it came out really well.

Here’s a skateboarder with a groovy board. I think the pattern on the shoes is distracting, but the client liked it.

A Latino boy, aged 7-9, standing casually while holding a skateboard under one arm.  The other arm is gesturing as though he's talking.  He's wearing jeans, a green zip-up sweatshirt, a light blue helmet, and checkerboard patterned sneakers.  The skateboard has a pastel rainbow fade background with scattered peace signs and doves.
