I was surprised by the amount of sketching that was accomplished the other day.
I’ve been running on empty which leaves me feeling weary most of the day but somehow I managed to milk the last few drops of creativity out. After my running studies, I decided to do another one of dancers. They turned out better than I thought they would and I’ll have to continue practicing. This time around I tried using more square and rectangular shapes.
The progress...
All my drawings are original sketches drawn digitally by me on the Procreate App using the iPad Pro with Apple Pencil.
While sketching this I thought about that animation story scene from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows : part 1. It was the Tale of Three Brothers. This dancing form reminded me of the wife who was summoned back by the death stone.
Mapping out the torso for this sketch was interesting because you don’t quite know what it is until I add the limbs.
I have a tendency to run out of space while sketching, which is why I have to repeatedly shrink the image. It must be my love for Tim Burton because I always love the look of long exaggerated limbs.
