A quick character study exploring expressive poses and loose, confident linework. I was playing with how to keep that spontaneous, sketchy energy while still creating a character with personality and appeal.

The challenge here was finding the balance between clean enough to read well, but loose enough to feel alive. I love how Procreate's pressure-sensitive brushes let you vary line weight naturally—it gets you closer to that traditional drawing feel even though you're working digitally.

Mostly just having fun with gesture and shape language, seeing how much personality you can pack into a simple character design.
