Gesture Drawing - Week Three


Hey everyone! Sorry for the lack of Gesture Drawing updates...last class was cancelled and pushed back to this week. Anyway, long story short, here's some drawings I did last night:

Jumping ahead, in the middle of the session we did some short one minute gestures. As you'll see below, I took a more story-oriented approach to the poses, but for these quick ones I just observed the model as he was.

Back to the beginning of class, here's a few 2's and a 4:

Most of the class was spent doing 5's which I preferred. Finding a unique story for the pose and adding specific details and elements to clarify those ideas is my current aim for this class:

I somehow managed to eat it on the last pose twice, so I threw together at the last second this quick gesture of the model, and it ended up being one of my favorite drawings of the session.

In closing, I've been dying to add more original content to this blog, outside of the gesture drawings etc...well let it be known I've begun inking my upcoming MINI COMIC to be finished around Comic-Con time...More on that next post!
