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.
