Gesture Class-the struggle continues . . .
I'm starting to absorb Alex and Louis' methods into my approach. It's all about simplifying the anatomy, pushing the pose and imbuing story, attitude and character. I struggled like hell at first to consider all these aspects with 30 sec- 1 min poses but with sustained practise it's coming-just like learning to drive!

Bambi-Killer, french fan :)
Alex Woo & Louis Gonzales lead Gesture Drawing @ Pixar. They have no magic formula - their approach is based on Walt Stanchfield's. The principles can be found in the 2 books collecting his notes. The main thing is PUSH the pose!
Thanks for the encouragement everyone- appreciated.
