Notes :: Gesture Drawing

::[ Gesture Drawing ]::
As an Animator we of course need to take in life through quick sketches that capture movements and mood instead of detail per se (life drawing.)

Notes and Tips, Via Ted Ty and My self:

Always finish off the hands

Try and challenge yourself Every now and then with your gesture drawings. Get images and views that are difficult to get but show more than an impersonal view of a person.

Where Sun Glasses when you can get away with it and not look weird.
Turn your head away from the person you are drawing but look at them through the corner of your eye. You will find that you can get better drawings when they aren't aware of it (not to mention less nasty looks.)

Always indicate the context.
Tell stories.
Imply setting.

Commit, make a choice and draw it.
It caught your eye so commit and get it down.

Be Bolder, You can always turn the page if you don't like it.

HAnds and Feet!

A Good exersize is to walk and draw all the while commiting to one capture after another.

Think:
Interesting drawings that make you wonder
