Hour 085

This card SVS Intro to Gesture Drawing.

This lesson is taking what we have done so far and trying some full gesture sketches showing emotions. This was REALLY hard for me. I just feel like I can’t get anything right, but I had to just keep going. Doing the flour sack exercise is very helpful to me. It helps me much more than line of action to figure out a way to give the pose more story and emotion. It’s a simple sack, and not much detail is possible, so it really breaks everything down to basics. And it’s a good warm up into this lesson. And everything is getting better the more I try. It takes time to warm up and relax into the concept. I probably need to so some of these almost every day to get into it more.

Next time I will start with flour sacks to get me warmed up and into the mood. Working on figures is very intimidating to me, so that’s a quick, cute warmup.
