Whales, Orbs, and Dancers: December 1st to December 16th, 2020

Hey, everyone! This week we’ve got whales, orbs, and dancers! I had said previously that the outer space series was over, and we have moved into colorful skins. They continue here this week – with more dancers, as usual.

At this point, I was starting to feel a lot more comfortable with bodies, with expression and gesture, and with more bendy poses. I think it’s working well, but sometimes I still end up drawing the models too stiff. That’s part of why I draw so many dancers – so I can get a better understanding of the movement of the body.

I have one clear favorite for this week – the one with the whale called “Think of the Sea”. I think I was feeling a little nostalgic for my underwater series, feeling like I needed to add a whale in there. I also really love the last two – “Among the Thicker Trees” and “Feeling a Little Horned”.

What are your faves? Let me know!

DM me on instagram or on here with any questions or if you’re interested in a piece. Be sure to check out last week’s post as well!
