Children of the World: Asia

I am working on a series of portraits for a children's curriculum. The series includes 6 children representing 6 different continents. There are several challenges that come with this assignment: Drawing children and creating the right skin tone for each nationality. All new to me!
Each child will be participating in an activity that children can relate to. "Asia" is flying a kite!

Now I am beginning sketches for "Australia." I imagine her with wild hair, snuggling a koala.
