All In Gesture – Irish Lass

I thought I'd shake things up by drawing on paper as I've been glued to my computer the last few months ... especially as it's been a while since I last did some gesture drawing. These are some sketches from the 'Irish Lass' All In Gesture class from back in March,...

All In Gesture – Jane
