Guys. I was drawing Tristan and realized I never draw him gesturing with his hands. Now a lot of my characters with more energy are expressive with their hands, such as Caim, Will, Sophie, etc. while characters like Zeben, Stolas, and Evangeline are more controlled and very rarely use their hands to convey things. Especially Stolas, who always has his hands at rest unless he’s going to need them.
But why does Tristan not use his hands a lot?
Because he’s scared of his own strength. He’s worried that if he reaches out or gestures too hard, he will break something or hurt someone.
Thank you for coming to my TEDtalk.
