30 Days/300 Figures: Week 2
Week 2 I decided to change things up a bit, out of necessity and to try something different. I love Sharon’s style so I decided to take a small tip from her work. While Sharon does do the full figure, I wanted to work as fast as she does. I was very distracted this week [...]

5 Minute Gesture
My favorite gesture by far.
