All In Gesture – Rapunzel

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!

Another session from the archives! Some of my drawings lean more towards the Cruella of the animated movie, others more towards the model. Either way the poses were great fun. She's a wonderfully mad villain.

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 – Geisha

All In Gesture – Geisha

This was a challenging session. It forced me to think about the overall shape of the pose and work within that shape, rather than rely on dynamic and energetic movements which clearly show where arms and legs are.
