It's been a long, long time since I last drew at an in-person life drawing class. Last month I went along to Looking Sketchy Life Drawing in Galashiels, with Lexi modelling. Though out of practice it was a lot of fun spending more time on poses and allowing myself to...
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 – Rapunzel
Rapunzel from Tangled is such a fun character. The addition of a frying pan prop was an excellent touch! I felt out of my depth with this one - I may need to redo the class sometime. But despite some wonky drawings I enjoyed taking part!

All In Gesture – Tinkerbell
Drawing Tinkerbell was a good challenge! This All In Gesture class took place near the beginning of the summer, but I just now got around to drawing from it. The poses were excellent, and it was fun trying to capture the animated character rather than the model.
Jousting!
Back in 2020 I was determined to get to one of the jousting events near me during the late spring ... we all know how that turned out. Now that events are back on I still haven't made it along, but one of my colleagues did! Here's a sketch from some of the footage he...
All In Gesture – Ahsoka Tano
I drew these back in June - now they're finally seeing the light of day. Ahsoka is a Star Wars character I mainly know through The Mandalorian as I haven't watched any of the Clone Wars TV shows, so I was aiming more for the live-action look.
All In Gesture – Legolas
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.
