100 gesture drawings of people in everyday activities
- divide your 24" x 36" newsprint or your 18" x 24" paper into four picture planes--just like we do in class--and capture the movement and overall structure of a figure
- you can also use your sketchbook--but keep each drawing at least 8 1/2" x 11" or so--not too small
- continue using the long axis lines like we did in class on tuesday
- resist the urge to use outlines--if you start adding these in, just stop!
- each drawing should be about 30 seconds
- up to 60 seconds is fine, too
- you don't have to time yourself exactly, just get an approximate feel for a quick gesture drawing and go with that
- draw and observe people in everyday activities--don't have them "pose" for you or sit still for 30 seconds. capture them alive and moving.
