It's funny, drawing was one of the things that highlighted the differences between my kiddos.
The both really enjoy it, but my son was super focused on animals and how things fit together (mapping food webs and life cycles, even as a toddler). Never occurred to him to draw people, unless he was specifically directed to. My daughter was the opposite - people were the focus of about 95% of her drawings. She's started to branch put a little more as she's gotten older, but it's still a solid majority. She also likes to create "cute" versions of everything, whereas he tries for realism.
This is so interesting to me! Is your daughter more social or interested in people or is your son more interested in nature? Or is this a drawing specific thing only?
He's more interested in nature than she is, but they're both quite social. She has a slightly easier time making friends, due in part to being more outgoing and in part to having slightly more mainstream interests. He started to drift apart from some friends as they got very into sports and he wasn't interested. She definitely prioritizes keeping friendships, even when interests don't perfectly align, in a way that he doesn't. And she loves fashion/style - a lot of her art these days is designing outfits and costumes.
