The most important thing in Gesture Class is to have FUN! If I get too wrapped up in anatomy and try to capture the 'real' pose the drawings tend to be boring. However it is possible to go too far in the opposite direction. Here's a selection of cartoony poses that came out of the last few sessions.

Alex insists we study the pose for 15 seconds without drawing and decide what it is exactly we want to draw. We write down the attitude we have in mind and let that inform the drawing.

ReplyDeletehey matt, is it ok to ask just what pen/pencil/pretzel stick you use? the line is so quirky - just curious. "-)
Thanks Froggie! "maleable wet noodles" that's funny! I tend to draw with a trusty ol' Tombow Brush pen or a Sharpie or whatever pen is to hand.
