Strip Sketches-"Unhooking"

A young epee fencer unhooking from the machine with his mom looking on, there to support him.

Sassy!

Another sketch of a fencer waiting for pools to continue at the War of the Roses tournament in Clearwater, FL. I like the pose the girl struck. I think this gesture drawing captures a little of her sassiness!

Stripside Sketches-War of the Roses 2009

Recently, I attended the War of the Roses Fencing Tournament held at Countryside Recreation Center in Clearwater, FL. The event took place on Nov 14, 2009 - Nov 15, 2009. Here's some sketches I managed to do while sitting around watching the fencing.

Here are a couple of kids sitting around watching their friend go off to fight.

These two foil fencers are poised for action. Can you till which one will initiate the attack?

This guy was just standing in between strips waiting around. It was a long day. In this sketch, I was really focusing on his legs and stance.
