Hey, look. We broke 100. Two thirds of this project posted.

I’m not sure if I’ve ever drawn a trumpet before, so this was fun. I also enjoyed the argyle pattern on his sweater vest far more than I probably should have.

An East Asian boy, aged 10-12, stands playing his trumpet. His cheeks are puffed out as he blows. He is wearing a white collared shirt, green and white argyle-patterned sweater vest, khaki slacks, and black sneakers.

I really enjoyed doing the stripes on this child’s tank top shirt and I think the color choice came out nice.

An East Asian child aged 7-9 stands wearing a backpack. Their medium-long hair is cut in an undercut and pulled back into a ponytail. They are wearing a light purple backpack. They are wearing a white t-shirt with a striped tank top with a scalloped edge over it. They're wearing scalloped-edged leggings and sneakers. The clothing colors are primarily teal and white, with darker blue and purple accents. Although the clothing style is traditionally feminine, the pose, haircut, and facial coloring deliberately read more masculine, creating an overall gender ambiguous look.

This girl is about to show off her skill with a lasso. The rope used for a lasso is stiffer than a regular rope so that the loop at the end will stay open when it’s thrown. I looked up what this should look like before I drew it to make sure I had it right.

An East Asian girl aged 7-9 holds up a lasso. She has a larger body size and her long black hair is in double ponytails. She is wearing a western-style shirt, jeans, and cowboy boots.

This kid’s heading to the beach.

This batch skipped the little girl and added an extra 7-9 year old. They said they were a little light on the birthday party theme characters.

I gave the client three options on dress design. The rainbow one was my favorite. Which do you like best?

New batch. East Asian people this time. The specs for this one called for a boy aged 4-6 with a larger body type wearing this specific outfit with a bug net and holding a fuzzy caterpillar.

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.
