These are some pictures that I looked at for my girl character. Some of these are anime style.I think the anime style is too complicated often. I like the 1st picture of the girl with orange hair more because of the way the face is exaggerated.

When drawing a character of a mother and her children, it is important the the characters are based on each other and it should look like they and related. The style used for the characters should be the same. I had created my character of the girl but creating her mother was difficult so I looked up on the internet images of cartoon mothers and daughters to see how they look when compared to each other. This helped me a lot.
These are pictures of girls that I found on the internet. I had to examine the look of girls eyes more. The eyes I were drawing in my rough sketches were turning out wrong. I had to choose a very easy to draw style. I don't like the very first one. Whichever look I went for in the end, they had to be bgi in size. This is where the exaggeration principle would come in.
This is an animation I found. Its a kids series. When designing characters, animators try to stick to using simple shapes like squares, rectanngles, circles, triangles and more. I needed to show a girl with a bike in my animation and I found his as a good reference. I think its good the way the boy character has a face triangle shaped. It certainly convinces the audience that it is a face. The animation also cuts out animating difficult bits like walking at places often. Instead they show the character's top half moving and don't show the character walking. This is done by many animators. All animations have their own style. This is a children animation which is 2d and although the characters and the drawings are rough doodles, the animation is very effective. The animation has used textures from photos and this makes it nice. The background used is not too complicated. This clip is one I found useful. It gives a basic overview about anime. I went to the park and took photos of the swings and slides over there. I was taking photos of things that I would put into my animation.
