I was proud of several things on this one. The wheelchair, the leaves, her face at that upward angle. I think she’s enjoying herself.

Here’s a girl at a birthday party who uses a wheelchair. I broke out my perspective ruler tools for this one.

A cartoon illustration of a Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander girl age 7-9. She is a wheelchair user sitting with a wrapped present in her lap. She's in a blue, manual wheelchair. She's wearing grey leggings, pink slip-on shoes, pink t-shirt, and a pink striped cardigan. Her long black hair is wavy and pulled back on the top, loose on the bottom. She is smiling.

Starting a new batch. This round will be 15 illustrations of diverse people with various visible disabilities. From this point on, I feel like the poses the client requestes got more interesting. A little bit more dynamic? I do feel like the characters in the previous batches got short-changed a little, though. They also started incorporating props.

Anyway, the first one’s a little girl with a cochlear implant playing the tambourine.

A little Latina girl, age 4-6, stands playing a tambourine. Her head is turned to the side so we can see that she has a cochlear implant. She's wearing a t-shirt under a blue and white striped jumper dress, and pink sandals. Her brown hair is pulled back in a ponytail.

Next comes three characters in the 10-12 age range. The colorful sweater and space buns were cute, I thought.

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.

Back to this Learning A-Z project. As a reminder, this is a set of 150 diverse characters of various ages and body types, isolated on white. Here we’re starting back on batch 4. (There are 10 batches, total.) This batch are all Indigenous Americans.

This little girl is wearing a sweater with a traditional pattern.

Next up: Age 10-12. She’s a little young for a hijab, but we figured in the interest of diversity to give her one anyway. Plus, it works well with her outfit.

A Muslim girl stands with one hand up, waving. She is wearing pink glasses and a light blue hijab with white polka dots. She is also wearing a pink, long-sleeved tunic that's shorter in the front than the back with gathered sleeves and three stripes along the bottom hem. She has on black leggings, pink socks, and brown lace-up boots.

Not sure what she’s pointing at. Interesting pants.

A Middle Eastern girl stands with one hand raised, pointing up into the air. She's wearing a white t-shirt, red denim jacket, red sneakers, and wide capri pants with white pinstripes on black.

Now we start the 7-9 age range. From here on out you’ll note that we have put all the characters in modest dress, though in this age range, the girls still have their heads uncovered. Since people with Middle Eastern heritage are often (though not exclusively) Muslim, we wanted to honor that by at least not showing lots of skin in this batch. But since our market is primarily US-based, we wanted to reflect what Americans Muslims of Middle Eastern descent typically wear. Therefore, we chose not to put girls in the 7-9 age range in hijabs, but you will see hijabs in the older age ranges.
