Big Announcement Teaser and Request
-
It doesn’t work to attempt drawing children without knowledge of human anatomy (hiding most of a body under the covers can only go so far
). And it’s tough to fudge character consistency just with clothing or hair color 
...Now if this were a story about kids trapped in mannequin bodies instead of a story about a rabbit who comes to life, it just might work!

This so embarrassing! This is a picture I actually turned into an Agency trying to get an agent. (I didn’t hear back ) Sometimes there is a blessing in the blindness of how bad you really are. Thank goodness Will Terry and Jake Parker came up with SVS!
You have permission to use this beauty.

Here are a couple of my older attempts you are free to use.

This is a drawing I was told by an art director in an art critique that I should go study anatomy. -
@lmrush It just needs to be tightened up a little... You are trying to balance the loose with the tight and I would assume you are afraid of getting too tight. That's a good thing in some ways because when you get too tight you take away the viewers imagination. There does need to be a good balance and that's the hard part.

@Will-Terry Yes that is very true, that is what I was trying to do.

Here's a couple:
-
I was in a critique group meeting with @Tannie-Smith and @beckporter and I was showing them examples of my old art to prove that that I used to make some fairly bad things not very long ago. This particular image of mine (from only 3 years ago!) had us in tears. You are welcome to use it, or anything you want on my instagram feed @kristinwauson (hopefully something old
). You have my permission to screen shot, or I'm happy to send you anything you want in higher res if you let me know what you want to use.
-
Actually, now that I think about it, the best (worst) examples, I have archived. So I will post a few more.
-
No form in these and the kids have strategically placed hands so I wouldn't have to draw them. Lol.
-
You can use my work. Maybe I'll learn something along the way. hahaha
I actually don't have many drawings or paintings of kids. I mostly do/did pin-up style comic art. Feel free to pick over these.This one was for my "draw 50 things" study. This was 2017.
Digital work from 2015- I pretty much gave up after this because of depression, until I found SVS.
This is an albino girl I drew for a friend back in 2010.
An attempt at perspective. 2012

@Kristin-Wauson still funny!
I want to make this little guy my mascot and pin him to my wall to remind me that if Kristin can go from Steve Buscemi baby to having an agent in just 3 years, maybe I can make the dream happen too! I love that you shared this Kristin! You are my hero! :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_smiling_eyes: -
@Kristin-Wauson Oh my hecking heck this still brings laughing tears to my eyes. Most inspiring image I have ever seen!
I agree with Becky. The sky is the limit when you can go to this beauty to the incredible art I saw last night.
