Description
Thought I'd give the manly men (and my husband) a break and try drawing kids. It's not that I haven't drawn them before, but I've always had a direct reference to copy from. This time, I attempted to interpret Toon Link in my semi-realistic style and I used multiple references to help me construct the face. I'm so used to drawing adults and children have different proportions, so even if I am exaggerating some features I have to be careful... so many moments when the voice in my head was saying "so... you know what you're doing?" and I was like "lol no... shuddup, brain!"This "Toon Link" is non specific and reps all the Toon Links since they all kinda look the same. His shield though is from Wind Waker, which I thought appropriate at this moment considering Ninty is re-releasing that game for Wii U.
I tried to create an ethereal kind of atmosphere - random fairy to suggest maybe Link's just dropped by a fairy spring in some cave

Not a bad attempt, but I can definitely tell you don't draw kids often.

haha yep - took me a while to get the hang of drawing adults when not copying directly, it'll be some time before I can do that with kids XD

Very nice work, although he looks more thirteen or fourteen than ten or eleven like he's supposed to be.

Kind of like your "Adult Link?" deviation, where you accidentally made him look in his late twenties instead of his normal seventeen-eighteen. XD

haha yeah I dunno why but I have this in-built programing in my brain to draw mature looking guys. Always thought boys were cute, but that's bout it... even when I was younger I was always attracted to men, not boys lol
