Preschool Arthur Characters

Description

In this drawing are the Arthur characters that are preschoolers, or so they've been since the beginning to Season 19. 

Some of these characters I drew before, others are first-timers.

I started with Dora Winifred (D.W.) Read, then I drew her best friend Emily. Next I drew James MacDonald and I put his arm around her because I'm a JamesXD.W. kind of person. After that I made the Tibble Twins Timmy (blue) and Tommy (red). And the rest of the order is lost to me, although it's possible I drew Bud Compson next. And all of these characters I've at least drawn once before.

The rest of these characters I drew for the first time ever and they are Amanda Hulser, Edwin, Liam, Cheikh, who is Brain's cousin, Kyle, Keith (farthest right-hand side character), Sarah, Lisa, Maryann, Lucy, and the unknown male preschool bear arthur.wikia.com/wiki/Unknown_….

I was only going to draw some of these characters, but I decided to go ahead and draw all the preschoolers I knew. I think I only intended to include the following:

DW (of course!)
Emily
James
Bud
Amanda
Timmy and Tommy
Edwin
Cheikh
Keith
Kyle

Then after seeing pictures of Lisa and Sarah, and thinking of this picture by :iconvederick: vederick.deviantart.com/art/D-…, I decied to add them. And somehow I decided to add Lucy and after seeing a picture of Liam and the unknown male bear together, I decided to add him. And I remembered Lucy, who has hair similar to Edwin's and decided to add her. Besides, has anyone else done artwork of any of these characters, namely Lisa, Lucy, Sarah, Amanda, Cheikh, Keith, and the unknown male bear? Maybe some have but they're hiding somewhere on the internet. If not, well now there's artwork of them. Plus it's nice to have artwork of background characters and other rarely seen characters. Admittedly, Sarah, Lisa, and Lucy and also Liam have been done as in the link I posted, that's one source as far as I know. And I did artwork of characters I never thought I'd do fanart of!

This drawing took me about five, more-less, man-hours to create. I'd have posted an uncolored version of this but decided against it because of time. And I'll admit this isn't my best effort and it's not easy trying to draw a whole lot of characters into one picture. I had to draw small in order for there to be room but I couldn't draw all the characters in one line. I had to break one of my rules, if I even had any, well change the way I do things and put Sarah, Maryann, Lucy, and Unknown Male Bear in the bottom or in the foreground. I thought of adding Vecita Molina but I decided against that for now.

And I will tell you, I am not going to draw all of these characters very much in future artwork, some of these might be one-time only drawings or I may only do very few pictures of them in the future. Admittedly no one told me or asked me to draw all of these characters, I made the choice to include Sarah, Lucy, Lisa, Maryann, and the Unknown Male Bear (and I hope nobody ever does either! But if you do I'll see what I can do or think about it.)

The thing is, I don't think all the characters pictured are always shown in the preschool, and not just because some of them didn't appear until later seasons (Cheikh and Keith appearing in Season 14 and Bud appearing in Season 16) but even in the latest episodes some students are missing. Like in the Pageant Pickle (one of my most disliked episodes and an episode I made a fanfic of www.fanfiction.net/s/11565013/…) Where are Liam, Kyle, Edwin, Sarah, Lisa, Lucy, and Maryann?) Link to Pageant Pickle on Wikia arthur.wikia.com/wiki/The_Page…. Maybe they were taken out because of time or some other reasons some cartoon characters don't always appear.

But I do plan on making more pictures of DW, Emily, James, Bud, Cheikh, Keith, Edwin, the Tibbles, and maybe Kyle and Liam, hopefully I will do them. And I plan to make older versions of these characters too, including 8-year-old versions of these guys. Well I already did the Tibbles as 8-year-olds willm3luvtrains.deviantart.com… I've also done older versions of D.W. and of James as can be seen

But I should try not to be too much of a copycat of Vederick, I should try to come up with my own style and hopefully I'll do almost as good a job as he does. And I want to see more older versions of the Preschoolers. Oh, :iconkeyscomics: has also done older versions of the Arthur characters, including the preschoolers: keyscomics.deviantart.com/art/… And I'm sure others have but I don't know or cannot remember their names off the bat, probably haven't met them yet.

I also plan to draw pictures of Demetre with the preschoolers, and I have drawn him with D.W. and with the Tibbles, and boy do I plan to do more of that!

So much work. And I did want to do a few more drawings of Arthur fanart but this was all I could do today. I plan to make more but please bear with me, I wish I was a faster worker, although if I worked any faster these characters would look worse. I mean Edwin doesn't even look like Edwin! Speaking of which, I decided to make him in his pre-Season 16 form, I don't like his Season 16-now form all that much, or another creme-colored rabbit turned light brown, this one: arthur.wikia.com/wiki/3rd_Grad… (he too might be a candidate for my future artwork.)

Well, I hope you like this. And by the way, this is not to take away from Vederick's work and talents and this is no competition with him, but he is some of my inspiration. I'll never be as good as him but I hope my artwork is almost as good as his.
