Here's the OC session in a nutshell.
This time I covered gesture; primarily in pose but I also glanced at internal gesture.
The sketch is my first stage, and from there I go to the full drawing.
The rest of the images are not stages but instead design considerations that I try to keep in mind as I draw anything. No matter how cartoony I draw something I always try to maintain some sense of anatomical structure. When I draw internal gesture I play off the movement of lines and shapes of the body as well as the anatomical structures.

The pic in the bottom right was included cuz I though she looked cute.
