The light is red. The street is empty.

The light is red, but the street is empty.

There is nobody around.

-> Cross!

The light is red, and the street is empty.

But there are children around.

-> Don't move! Human cubs aren't prepared to handle sudden danger yet. You're their role model, whether you realize it or not.

The light is red, and the street is empty.

-> Wait for someone to start crossing, then everyone can all start to cross, too. If you don’t want to wait, then be that person to take the first step.

The light just turned red. Cars haven’t started moving yet.

→ People are still on the zebra lines. Now is your chance—go! Fast, confident, like you own the road.

p.s. I've been thinking about these "crossing-the-street-dramas" for a long time, but since I can't draw people confidently, I just kept the idea in my head. Until I discovered The SneakyArt Post by
Nishant Jain, and started learning to draw tiny people with him. And thanks to him, drawing tiny people is much easier. And I had fun drawing them too! Thank you Nishant!
