Halloween Costumes, part 3: The Scamps! (Patreon)

I'm giving myself an Inktober-lite challenge of drawing the Precocious class in Halloween costumes, to be posted over the last two weeks of the month, on our way to the big holiday! Fourteen days, thirteen kids, one teacher, two costumes per post, and a post every other day - with a final post on the 31st that will feature the original sketches I made, including alternate outfits for some!  

Today we are back to our second (and final) batch of cartoon character inspirations. I mean, these are kids, and cartoon kids at that. Of course this is their jam!

Kaitlyn is Mabel Pines, of Gravity Falls, showing off Mabel's love of colorful sweaters, boy bands made of actual clones, and the exuberant personality that chooses a GRAPPLING HOOK when offered her choice of anything in the store! Kaitlyn *had* to be a cartoon character, and Suzette already claimed the Steven Universe side, so there really was just one clear choice!

Bud is going for a classic comics page rapscallion, as Dennis The Menace! Being a neighborhood terror isn't much of a stretch, but what's wrong with playing to your strengths? Once Tiffany stole Bud's original costume concept - it's being saved for the finale! - it took a while to figure out what to do with him, but once the idea hit, the resulting sketch was such a winner I straight up traced it for the final piece. Everyone else starts with a static pose, as I define the costume, but I really liked showing off the POTENTIAL energy of "innocent" smile, and the yet-to-be-deployed slingshot.

Next costume update will be on the 24th!
