I'M NOT THAT GREAT AT drawing real young kids, and somehow they always end up looking older.
Anyways, I'm not really sure what's going on here. There's a Cardboard Box Race going on, but how these kids are moving them around is beyond me; the wheels are Sharpied on. Regardless, this kid's about to bite it, and the guy in the background just did. Not much in the way of ideas this week. Here's to next week. Until then, enjoy!

A great action oriented scene this week Marshall. I do like the drawn on wheels!
I remember when I used to take boxes, bring them to the edge of the stairs, sit in them, and scooch-scooch-scooch until it tipped over. It almost always worked as a fun ride to the bottom. The last time I did it, it hit the top step funny, and I took a nice dive.
I probably drew some wings on the boxes.
Are you Smokey or the Bandit? Regardless, you've pulled it off again, Marshall. I admire your muted-color sensibilities...
Another great image, Marshall. The kid really looks like he's struggling to keep the car under control. The drawn-on car details are much funnier than actual, physical pieces would have been.
Great line of action in this one Marshall, and I agree the drawn on car parts is a great addition.
Details on the box are top notch. The marker, the transparet tape, and I especially like how the marker line is broken around the edge of the box - that's real life details right there.
Feels a bit like FLCL with the colors and exaggeration.
very fun. you feel the imagination of lil you.
Fantastic i loves it.
Thanks for the comments, guys. You all give me such a great reason to keep posting every week. I'm humbled : ) Thanks again!

that's a really nice piece man, very dynamic, fluid...
Excellent pose, you really captured it perfectly!
The idea is fantastic! Regarding kids, when they look too old it's almost always a proportions issue. Children's craniums are huge, for instance, and their eyes are larger and around 1/3 of the distance up from the jaw to the top of the head, unlike the 1/2 mark of adults, and the overall head size is larger compared to the body. Also, their arms and legs are shorter and fatter. A boy about the age of the one in your drawing is hardest, since they are somewhere in between the extremes. I agree it does look a touch old, like you were shooting for a 10-yr-old and hit about 14 instead, but it's not too bad and certainly doesn't detract from this great drawing.
