This old lady looks all warm and bundled up, doesn’t she? I enjoyed the pattern I did on the knit things on a child character earlier in this project so much that I used the same idea again in this lady’s gloves and scarf. I think it made the knitwear look really soft.

An old Latina lady stands holding a to-go coffee cup in both hands. She is wearing a long lilac puffer coat, tan snow boots, and a set of gloves, hat and scarf with a light gray, white, and blue pattern.

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.

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.

A Latina girl, aged 10-12, is walking to school. She has a turquois backpack and is using wired earbuds to listen to something with her phone. She is wearing jeans, a pink t-shirt, and white sneakers. Her dark brown hair is arranged in three tiered buns running down the back of her head.

Here we have a soccer girl. This pose is showing a lot more movement than most of the poses we’ve seen so far.

Halfway through and a new batch! This batch will be all Hispanic/Latine characters.

Here you have a little girl holding out a handful of seeds. I think she’s supposed to be feeding an animal who’s out of frame, but she could also just be preparing to spread seeds on the ground. I’m not sure which.

The boots and sun hat were particularly fun. I have several characters in this project where I made the pattern on their clothing with this same scattered flower shape brush. Good results, minimal effort. Work smarter, not harder. 🙂

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.
