I'm back with the third of many figure drawing posts ( I've recently shot about 8 months worth). Let's start with some gestures....
...this was a thirty minute rough in as a class demo....
...with a detail....
...the first part of the anatomy lecture/demo was with conte crayon on tracing paper...obviously the concentration was on the chest and torso...
....then a second layer of tracing paper for a clean rendering demo in ballpoint pen...
...with it's own detail...
....these are from a lecture/demo on the construction of the foot...
...then some twenty minute block in drawings of the head and neck for demos as well...
.....then we follow with a detail and some shots of the anatomy lecture/demo overlays on tracing paper, again they are conte on tracing paper....
.....and we will end with some gestures, I always have the students work with gestures every day even the ones where we get heavy with construction and anatomy. None of that stuff does you any good if you can't go with your gut and just draw...plus I always want them to connect to the whole and not just the parts...
...I'll be back with even more soon...
