Realtime Gesture Video - Olympics - Breaking (Patreon)

A little but late, but it's finally here... our SECOND gesture video based on what you guys voted for in our last poll.

If you missed it, there was a tie between Gymnastics and Breaking. I wanted to draw both of them...

So I did! Hope you don't mind, but I'm just having too much fun drawing the Olympics sports over here!

Oh my was drawing this sport a challenge! This is brand new to me, I've never drawn breakdancers before, or really know much about it at all (except what I've seen in dance movies - did anyone else grow up on Step Up, Save the Last Dance and Honey?)

I've tried a new format in this week's video. Now that I have a proper little microphone for recording audio, I tried drawing and talking at the same time. I did this in some of my earliest videos and it didn't really work but now that I've made so many tutorials, it felt a bit better.

I'd love to know your thoughts on the format of the video this week, if it was more interesting to watch, if it made the information I was sharing easier to digest or any other comments.

If you'd like to try drawing some break dancers, you can use my Pinterest reference.

I'm probably going to do more Olympics themed gestures for the next vote. What sports would you like to see included? Comment below!
