Hello again my fellow arteests! Just as we did in class on Thursday, I want you to complete 10 gesture drawings (in pencil please). For your reference I want you to do your best to find candid subjects (someone sitting in a bench, someone standing at an intersection, or any pose that's relatively stationary). The more exagerated the pose the better (arms extended, legs somewhat spread or crossed). If you can't find any candid subjects then try enlisting someone to do a few poses for you. Each gesture drawing should only take about 30 seconds. Also, try to fit as many as you can onto one or two pages instead of having 10 spread throughout your sketchbook. Some examples below!
What do I NOT want to see? I'm glad you asked! I don't want to see any deliberation over structure or an attempt to build up the figure through skeletal structure or geometric volume. For the love of all that is good and holy, DO NOT DO THIS (see below)!
The above drawing is a fine way to approach the figure, but it is not gesture drawing. Give me your loosest, ugliest, most free-form attempts at rendering the figure!
