Need More Americans

I finished Cheyenne just a little while ago, and she was the last person I had photo reference for in the America series. So now I have to get out of the house and talk to people!

Once I have everyone done— whether that turns out to be 25 or 36 or 49 people— I''m going to mix up a big batch of sky blue and do all of the backgrounds at once. I had been planning to use a neutral greyish-beige but now I like the idea of sky blue better.
