Kids wipby ~Revaj

Traditional Art / Drawings / Illustration / Conceptual

A work in progress. Been looking into some aspects of my art I could improve and I've seen that I currently fall into a very common trap for manga: kids just don't look like kids.

So I've been working on a few illustrations to work around this problem and this one kinda stuck the most.

The differences are more stylized mouths and teeth in order to get that crooked look kids tend to have in their smiles.

Another thing are the eye distances and head shape. I'm trying to work on the proportions in order to give them a more organic and dynamic feel as opposed to the common "doll" look.

What do you guys think?

Everything seems so perfect, and yet I've been feeling like something's off...
After a while of staring, I found it. The anime-ish straight lines of hair in the boy's neck area doesn't fit the more realistic style you've used here.
That said, I really like what you did! Already the characters have a lot more flavor to them than your standard cookie cutter manga kid.

hmmmm... good point. Guess if I shoot for a more realistic facial look and impose a less realistic hair than things start going off. Perhaps I can tweak this a bit.
