Reindeer, sans antlers

My mother wanted to do cut out hand turkeys, but missed thanksgiving, so my Pa suggested the cut out hands become reindeer antlers. I drew this up for her to attach the hands too.

Doing a sketchbook check in my animation class a few weeks back, I was flattered to see myself as gestures in a student's sketchbook. He captured my tiny head, poky hair, humpback, the way I twist my arm when I sit, how I write and gesture at the whiteboard. Being the subject of the drawings and knowing how I "feel." I put these up as example of good gesture drawing because they go beyond getting the likeness to capturing that "feeling." Emmany Makonga is already an accomplished artist.
