Over the next six weeks we will embark in a journey of Gesture Drawing and Studying the Human Figure.
Gesture drawing are quick expressive studies that aim to simplify the forms observed and finding the most essential Attributes of the form, We are looking for the essence of the pose.
One of our goals is to understand what the figure is doing and not just try to copy the figure. The key words that should come to mind as you draw are Rhythm, Action, Motion and Flow. The sequence of Gesture Drawings are as follows: We begin with 10 - one minute poses followed by 10 - two minute poses, 5 - five minute poses and finally 1 or 2 - 20 minute poses.
As always, the main idea is to find that beautiful sense of ‘Being at Play’ - I recommend looking at the infinite resources online and give it a try, Your Line quality will improve noticeably.
