Now we’re on the adults. We have a ballet dancer doing a… you know, I’m not sure what this position is. But it was the one the client specified. This is actually the first of two ballet dancers in this project.

This one is a really nice pose with lots of movement. More specifically, it’s a roller derby move, with the character caught in mid-crossover, their back skate in the air. It’s one of my favorites out of this whole project.

Here’s a girl walking to school. Have I mentioned I like drawing backpacks?
The side view gave me a chance to do this fun three-tiered bun hairstyle, a bun mohawk.

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.

Here’s a skateboarder with a groovy board. I think the pattern on the shoes is distracting, but the client liked it.

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.
