Realtime Gestures - Kimono
🕑 Added 2025-05-05 17:00:12 +0000 UTCIt's been a long wait for you to see this realtime video!
The last vote we had was way back in March, and then I took a break throughout April, but we are finally back with the Vote Winner from March - Mitsuru in a Kimono.
This was actually very difficult reference to draw from. Due to the limitations of movement the model had because of the nature of a kimono being quite fitted and restrictive, there was not a huge range of dynamic gestures in this reference.
However, I did what I could with it and there were still areas to play with pushing the pose and lots of opportunities to play around with the character and the shape language of the model and costume.
Check out the video and if you would like to draw along you can grab the photo reference directly from TrueRef HERE.
What did you think of this model? This theme?
If you'd like to explore drawing this traditional Japanese clothing and performance, you can check out this cool Pinterest Board I discovered. This is a theme I'd definitely like to come back to in the future - very fun to draw!
Stay tuned for the next Voting Poll coming up next week.
