Grass Dancer Boy

I recently completed a commission for an illustration of a little indigenous boy performing as a grass dancer. The client advised me on what details to include to make him look authentic, since she is indigenous and I am not. She wanted it to match that illustration I made a few years ago of a girl in a jingle dress.

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.)
