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.

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...
