This session is from way back in the All In Gesture archives. I'm still working my way through all the sessions - some of which result in no good drawings, so I don't post them! These ones brought back a lot of memories of a character I wrote stories about while I was...
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!
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 ...
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!
And here are some more recent drawings! Makenzie was the model of these 'A League of Their Own'-inspired poses.
Today I dusted the cobwebs off my pencil and newsprint pad and sat down to do some gesture drawing! Todd Bright's weekly All In Gesture class gets recorded, so I was able to take part at a time that suited me. It was so much fun to do, despite being very rusty.
A colleague took a video of some gorillas while visiting his local zoo, and I asked if I could sketch from it. The interactions between the gorillas were fascinating to study.
On Saturday I joined an online drawing class from Wild Life Drawing featuring five-week-old wolf-dog pups from Watermill Wolves. They were alternately incredibly active or completely asleep.
I made it along to some of the epic eight-hour life drawing marathon organised by Deryck Henley on New Year's Eve. It was great to do some drawing from (digital) life - it had been a few months, and I was very rusty. These poses were modelled by Anna and Mariano.
