Line of Action

In Gesture Class I've been advocating capturing the line of action/basic shape in a broad colour stroke then working in on top of that with a finer pen.  It seems to generate more spontaneous interpretations of a pose.

  2. Good tip, guess it keeps your first initial interpretation of the pose nice and clear!

  4. Yes, you capture that first impressionistic snapshot, which should be very bold, and then strengthen it without deviating.

  6. That's really smart! Using color for the action line doesn't interfere with the line drawing on top, and it shows your approach / thought process. Great idea.
