Taule'ale'a with a Samoan Tattoo

In the Samoan culture, dance is an important part of the identity of its people. Here is a dancer I started with a gesture drawing. This fella is call a Aiuli. He is a backup dancer to the main dancer which is called a Taupou (Taupou will be coming soon). He is also show casing his Samoan tattoo which is call a tatau. Only the chiefs have the honor of waring the tatau. Hope you enjoy.
