As a nod to Star Wars day earlier in May, the All In Gesture theme was Leia. I enjoyed the costume for this one - much simpler, and more iconic!
Life Drawing
All In Gesture – Hercules
For this session I chose to draw digitally, just to shake things up. I like getting away from the screen every once in a while, but sometimes it's hard to adjust to real media given I spend almost all my time drawing onto my Cintiq. Ralph was a fantastic model! I...
All In Gesture – Legolas

All In Gesture – Mad Madam Mim
