This kid’s heading off to the beach or pool.

A Latine child, aged 7-9, stands with one hand gesturing off to their right while looking off to their left. They are wearing swim shorts, a long-sleeved swim shirt, and flip-flops. The clothes are matching black, yellow, and white with a daisy on the front. They are holding a white and pink inner tube around their waist. Their hair is black, straight, and just shy of shoulder length without bangs.

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.

A Latino boy, aged 7-9, sits with his legs crossed and a book in his lap. He wears glasses and has the tips of his short black hair dyed a pale blue. He is wearing a purple t-shirt, jeans with the cuffs rolled, and blue sneakers. He is smiling and looking at the viewer.

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

Here’s a chubby little boy holding out a birthday present. The client asked me to put a pattern on his little vest, but I didn’t like how that was looking. So, I added a dino in his pocket instead. The client agreed that they liked that better.

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.
