Another girl, aged 7-9. I really like her rainbow-colored shirt. I based it on one my daughter had years ago that I always liked.

No fooling, we’re only a third of the way through this project. Lots more to come.

Here’s one of our gender non-conforming or ambiguous characters. Since they’re indigenous, the braid isn’t a gender indicator, and the clothing is intentionally gender neutral.

I think I may have drawn them to read a bit older than the 7-9 I was going for. Maybe I should have rounded that chin a little more. Maybe smaller hands. I have mentioned before that this project was scheduled a bit tight, right?

Here’s a little boy with glasses and a missing tooth. If I did it right, he should look to be somewhere in the 4-6 age range.

I’ve always thought jingle dresses looked fancy, so here’s a little Indigenous girl dancing in her jingle dress.

(I’m not Indigenous, so apologies if I got something wrong. If anything’s egregiously wrong, please let me know and I’ll fix it.)
