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.)
Today we have sabre drill. A girl practicing fencing with her coach. The prompt was blade. I took the time to do comic book style shading and highlights this time.
I did my best to get the lunge position and the clothing correct. My husband fences, so I got a bit of advice from him on that. The coach is based very roughly on his coach and this drill is very common for beginning sabre fencers.
Sabre is the hack and slash style of fencing. Foil and epee are the pokey styles. My daughter is deeply disappointed I drew sabre instead of epee. She thinks epee is the best. But sabre just doesn’t have as nice a sound effect. SMACK!
And now I’m done. Same character from about age 2 to 18.
Five ages now. I think at 16 she might just be on the swim team.

Now 4 ages. I bet she’s a good swimmer by age 13.

Here’s the same girl at ages 2, 5, and 10. Or thereabouts, anyway.
Here’s the same girl at ages 2 and 5.
Here’s a cute 2 year old in a little skirted swimsuit.
So, remember last week I meant to draw people wearing masks and I ended up drawing a ninja? Well, this week I drew the people I meant to draw last week. Here it is: People Wearing Masks.
Here’s the eighth image for a graded reader I recently illustrated for Learning A-Z. Mom for City Council by Jessica Malordy.
