Love this style. Reminds me of Kenichi Sonoda's drawings. I think you nailed the 90's look and the cel like coloring looks great. I'm curious, did you study any character model sheets to draw this?

Thank you so much!! And to answer your question, I mostly just looked at this image:

Cool. You might find looking at the production materials to be interesting to check out too if you haven't before. I haven't taken as much time as I'd like to do many proper studies from character sheets and the like but I would still argue there is some interesting stuff to learn from them.

Michael Hampton's Gesture Course

Michael Hampton's Gesture Course

Michael Hampton is one of my favourite figure drawing teachers, specifically because of how he approaches things from a basis of structure, which as you have probably noted from Drawabox, is a big priority for me. Gesture however is the opposite of structure however - they both exist at opposite ends of a spectrum, where structure promotes solidity and structure (and can on its own result in stiffness and rigidity), gesture focuses on motion and fluidity, which can result in things that are ephemeral, not quite feeling solid and stable.

With structure and spatial reasoning in his very bones, he still provides an excellent exploration of gesture, but in a visual language in something that we here appreciate greatly, and that's not something you can find everywhere.
