I struggled a lot in this class and was only beginning to warm up by the end. The variety of emotions and poses was good fun! In my head I was imagining Legolas at various ages - young and slightly pensive to older and battle-experienced.

All In Gesture – Mary Poppins
At times I think I was drawing the costume more than the character! Drawing more subtle poses was a great challenge.
All In Gesture – Mad Madam Mim
Some gesture sketches from back in February with the theme of Madam Mim. I have in no way fully captured Milt Kahl's fantastic work from The Sword in the Stone, but it was fun to try!
All In Gesture – John Smith
I've been drawing, but not posting - here are some recent sketches from Todd Bright's All In Gesture workshop! The theme was John Smith from Pocahontas. My sketches veer between attempting the character and following the model, and have ended up not much like either ...
Sketching Morna
I first shared some sketches of Morna here, and I'm finally diving back in to developing her design. There are lots of things still to nail down but I'm pleased with how she's coming to life!
Lots of Liffeys
Liffey was the Irish Setter my family owned while I was growing up. She was a wonderful companion, if a little odd at times. I must have doodled these caricatures of her at some point last year, but I'd forgotten about them until now.
Morna and Alistair
Morna and Alistair are from a story I've been working at over the last few months. As they both get older in it I've been trying to find characters that work at different ages. These quick doodles I did after work are the first ones I feel capture their characters.
Kinsey’s Sword Thumbnails
A few years ago I posted some images from a short story I'd written and illustrated. You can view them here if you didn't see them the first time around! The story follows Kinsey, a young Queen who battles her fears in order to reclaim her sword, her family, and her...
Character Sketching – Dorothy
Rachel modelled as Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz at last week's On Model session. A little different from the last couple of weeks - this time I wasn't following a model sheet!
