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.

Not our first basketball player, but this one can spin a basketball on their finger. (A trick I was impressed with when I was a kid.)

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.

A Latine child, aged 10-12, is skating fast doing a cross-over, with only one skate currently on the ground. They are wearing a helmet, hand/wrist guards, knee pads, and elbow pads. They are wearing a t-shirt, shorts, knee-high socks, and quad-style roller derby skates. Their black hair is a little past shoulder length and is flying out behind them.

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.
