The Doctor is in!

Illustrators Wales published an interview with me waxing lyrical on the subject of drawing here.

I've been leading a second Gesture Drawing Class supplementary to Alex's. I'm not as experienced as Alex or Louis or Tom Gately but it's a beginners class and allows me to draw with folk from other departments and learn with them.


There's nothing like teaching to force one to distill and condense drawing principals & technique.
These are some of the notes I made in class-basic tips and tricks to strengthen drawings.


And some fun stuff from the sessions . . .

    i seeeeriously doubt that that many BLAHS come out of your mouth when you teach. rhubarb??? bwahahah "-))

    you're prolly a GREAT teacher, mj - gesture drawing appears to come so naturally to you and what better person to help the rest of us students decode it all, in a really smart and fun way?

    love "the nose indicates direction!"

    ty for sharing the notes! "-)

    Thanks folks.

    Stef- the class is small and as usual with these things numbers drop off a few weeks into it.

    Rosie-Good question! I guess they're short cuts but real in my imagination!
