Mini Eagle and mini Condor in the timeout chair for fighting. Again. One of these little monsters had the foresight to stash some toys in the cushions and I’m honestly not sure which one. 9 ½ years! If my timeline is accurate, (and honestly, the show is all over the place) this is one year after Joe’s parents are assassinated, and two years after Ken’s mother dies. Easter eggs! This sketch is full of them. Supposedly the first cartoon takes place in the year 2001, which would make these two 80’s/90's kids, and that means they had awesome cartoons. Alternate universes and such! 😆

Looks like there will be a ton of sketch studies in my future as I continue to learn to draw children. I’m currently studying proportional changes from ages 5-16. So here’s an 8 year old running with a kite from a time when kids still played outside! (Do kids still play outside???) Mini eagle has gained some height and hair and lost some teeth. I referenced a stock photo for this one, but I have to shout a big thank you to my friends with kids who have offered up family photos of their little monsters so I can study them.
