This is a memory of my childhood. With my parents I went to the beach in Croatia. There was another girl. She showed me a swamp and to proof to that’s dangerous to play there, she put her foot into it. Then she stuck in the swamp and I had to help her getting out.
These are the two charcoal and pastel demos I did during this weekends Hoggetowne Medieval Faire, in Gainesville Fl. The old man was Saturdays and the creature was Sundays. Someone made me an offer on the Saturday piece and I sold it at the show. Sweet! They are not done on acid free archival paper, so I sold it for less than a well finished archival piece. Framed they should still get 50 plus years out of it. Non archival paper tends to flake over time. They are 18"x24". There are still two more weekends of the faire if anyone is gonna be in the Gainesville area. I will be there for both of them. Thank you to everyone that came out and supported the faire. If you had an opportunity to stop by my booth, thank you for doing so.

Some warmup sketches. Loosely based on Rapunzel, just to have some subject matter to sketch some poses with. During #lightboxexpo2021 some people asked about exercises to improve posing characters. Beside doing gesture drawing from a model, I consider inventing poses from imagination a great exercise. Don’t spend too long making pretty pictures, but aim your focus at capturing the gesture and feel of the pose. How does thecharacter feel , what are they doing. Hope that helps. #characterdesign #sketchbook #pencildrawing #gesturedrawing #drawingfromimagination #loosesketching #woutertulp #artistsoninstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CTzT4ZgMTqy/?utm_medium=tumblr
