If you had to.....Most Popular Designs

So, I'm brand new. And I have no delusions of being able to create my own designs yet. I know 95% of what I do is going to be extremely derivative, so on that note... help a girl out. I need to start doing this seriously and for pay as soon as I can. I'm not going to rush in before I'm comfortable and before I think what I'm doing is worth money but before then I want to perfect as many of the 'common' designs as possible.

So far I can do dinosaurs, sharks, butterflies, simple tiger masks, (obviously Spider-man), skeletons, pirates, puppies, bunnies, kittens, dolphins, simple flowers, spider web with a spider, snakes, etc... SIMPLE things. I need to practice my teardrops and swirls though. I'm also working on familiarizing myself with different kids shows/media so I can do a character if needed but I need your help, lovelies!

So! If you had to give me a list of your ten most frequently requested boys faces and your ten for girls, what would it include?

I'm sure we covered this before?

I find the top design choices vary regionally.

Shannon - I'm sure you have! I did a search but no matter what I entered it kept saying nothing matched my entry. Maybe it's a glitch? I'll keep trying for more ideas but I appreciate you pitching your list in anyway!

Thanks, guys!

I use a design board but do requests off the board too. 90% choose off the board.

Yep, most choose off the board.

Spiderman, Batman, hero/Flash mask, dragon, Ben 10 watch, snake, dinosaur

GIRLS:
Butterfly, Pink-purple-blue pearl eye design, angel face, rose princess/fairy, hearts (pink or red), mermaid/Ariel

Search "popular designs" another thread should come up for you. It pertained to popular designs as they applied to demographics.

Just an update, I practiced the hell out of everything you guys gave me, and I've improved by quite a bit. I've started working and gotten great feedback and thanks to the boot camp you guys helped me subject myself too I was much better at making stuff up on the fly for the odd kid who wanted to be a ostrich, the grizzly bear, the tiki man, and more! Even if it was the simpler stuff it gave me a task list to focus on and work at.

Thank you so much!
