A First Look: GESTURE DRAWINGby ^Katmomma

Scraps

Here are some Gesture Drawing samples and Line Energy examples for you to look at while =Kizamaji and I are preparing a film tutorial for you

Gesture drawing is so much fun- and it is so easy once you can grasp the concept-- it makes your drawing time divide in half-- so you get the form you want down on paper quickly and efficiently. all it needs is:

1. Treat the subject you are drawing as a SHAPE not a thing. Do not label body parts- treat them as shapes.

2. Line Energy is the key for movement. Learn and experiment with pressure applied to the pencil and lifting off. (pretend your pencil tip is a little airplane).

3. Be Loose! High pressured stiff lines will NOT YIELD GOOD RESULTS.....it will look yucky.

4. Work from GENERAL - to- SPECIFIC. Your first line should be the line of the overall gesture- Never work in details too soon. keep building on shapes by drawing through the form-- and little by little, you shall discover the truth!

So have a little fun with this- next time your bored in class, practice some swirlys......and like the image points out; I'm not talking about the toilet kind.

I swear.... Kadabra Man was sooooo random.

I couldn't resist. XD ....and yes Farts have Gesture too.

It's proven in the Education world that people learn best with a little humor......so I enjoyed myself making this for you. hehe.
