[Extra] Gesture [HQ] (Patreon)

Hey, guys!

Gesture was one of the hardest concepts I dealt with (it’s my painting teacher’s fault… I’ve already told him that, LOL). Sometimes the body has a curve, and that creates a sense of rhythm and cohesion. Gesture is best studied with the entire figure, from head to toes, as all the body’s masses can be seen, from the larger masses (chest, abdomen, hips) to smaller ones (hands, fingers). Ballerinas are masters of gesture: even their pinkies follow the lines and curves made by their spines. Maybe this is why so many draftsmen like to sketch ballerinas (I tried to do this once at a local ballet school, but then everyone there thought I was a perv… Which is accurate, btw, but that’s beside the point, LOL). Charcoal is usually a go to medium to capture gestures, and it also allows us to create nice textures that flow naturally from it.

In today’s study I wanted to capture a very organic gesture of Epona seconds after climaxing. Oh happy day.

Thank you all so much for the love and support!

p.s.:  this is an extra painting, an early access submission. I’ll post it at Hentai-Foundry, Twitter, etc. in a couple of days.
