Winter Olympics - ice skating

I enjoyed watching the ice skating at the Winter Olympics this year, and tried to capture the incredible movements of the skaters in quick sketches…

These details show some of the wonderful poses the skaters held. I even managed to do a passable likeness of my favourite Yuzuru Hanyu!

I especially enjoyed the pairs skating, it’s less stressful to watch, and the skaters’ co-ordinated movements are wonderful to behold.

I didn’t have a favourite in the pairs, but I loved the outfits! Sketching this fast (or trying to!) is great practice.
