This kid’s heading off to the beach or pool.

A Latine child, aged 7-9, stands with one hand gesturing off to their right while looking off to their left. They are wearing swim shorts, a long-sleeved swim shirt, and flip-flops. The clothes are matching black, yellow, and white with a daisy on the front. They are holding a white and pink inner tube around their waist. Their hair is black, straight, and just shy of shoulder length without bangs.

Is this our first one with fun, brightly dyed hair? It might be. It was fun to figure out what technique to use to show the dyed hair.

Here we have a soccer girl. This pose is showing a lot more movement than most of the poses we’ve seen so far.

Here’s a chubby little boy holding out a birthday present. The client asked me to put a pattern on his little vest, but I didn’t like how that was looking. So, I added a dino in his pocket instead. The client agreed that they liked that better.

Halfway through and a new batch! This batch will be all Hispanic/Latine characters.

Here you have a little girl holding out a handful of seeds. I think she’s supposed to be feeding an animal who’s out of frame, but she could also just be preparing to spread seeds on the ground. I’m not sure which.

The boots and sun hat were particularly fun. I have several characters in this project where I made the pattern on their clothing with this same scattered flower shape brush. Good results, minimal effort. Work smarter, not harder. 🙂

A deaf child signing, “Friend.” I think space buns are my new favorite hairstyle to draw on little girls.

A child who uses a walker. Some walkers have a seat on them like this. Looks like they’re catching their breath before planting that little tree. They intentionally look a bit tired, maybe unhealthy, though there were no specifics given on what condition they have to make a walker necessary.

A cartoon illustration of a white child sitting on the built-in bench on a walker. They have blonde hair and are holding a plant. There is a hand trowel on the ground at their feet. They are wearing a long-sleeved t-shirt under a pair of overalls, garden gloves, and work boots.

A blind boy in raingear walking with the aid of a white cane.

This image had originally called for the boy to have a guide dog, because a kid and a dog are inherently cute together. But when looking for reference images of kids with guide dogs, I learned that blind kids don’t actually get guide dogs. You generally have to be 18 for a guide animal. I relayed this to the client and they changed the specs. So, I guess I sort of took away this boy’s dog and gave him a cane instead. If it helps, later in this batch there will be a man with a guide dog instead. Not as cute, but more accurate.
