this is a sketch I did with a woodless graphite pencil after watching how to draw gesture video on YouTube. this is now my official favorite version of this pose for Kiva. I signed with my Instagram handle DragonTempest. I just joined it to follow a comic artist I came across on YouTube. the shield i believe is now the appropriate size to be more like a buckler. i did some research on shield sizes and found out they were small so they can be more maneuverable and punch with it.
