This card is from SVS Gesture Drawing.

This lesson is an intro to the class and the Construction Method called Line of Action. The most helpful thing about this first lesson is Naming the Pose – actually defining what you are going to try to convey with your sketch. So instead of just drawing a character who is holding their arm up, you are thinking about what the character is actually doing, such as pointing excitedly, or pointing fearfully, or pointing accusingly. I’m still trying to figure out how to draw a nice cute gesture, but I feel like it’s coming along easier.

Next time I will play with the canvas and pencil a little more, I felt like I couldn’t get face details with the current setup. Maybe I need to try A4 instead of A5 just to give myself more space with the same pencil. Other than that, just more practice!
