PRESENTATION ON GESTURE DRAWING PREPARED BYSWASAT DUTTACIT/13/AM/004

What is gesture drawing

A non-verbal communication can be seen on the human figure, animals and even objects, a drawing used to study the human figure

Sometimes called an action drawing: the action a figure is performing

A gesture is a quick sketch of a figure in motion.

FOCUS ON SHAPE! SHAPE! SHAPE!: Focus on the shape of the model not the fine details

Use whole arm when drawing dont grip the pencil too tight

Use a continuous line and do not erase if we make a mistake.

How long does it take to do a Gesture DrawingGesture drawings can range anywhere from 10 seconds to a couple of minutes.

Gestures should be done very quickly to draw the entire subject in the first few seconds.

Steps for a successful gesture drawing

1. FOCUS-- constantly. Estimate proportions, movement, and contrasts quickly. Determine interior shapes and shadows. 2. DRAW LIGHTLY--then get darker as you correct your mistakes and finalize your work

3. DRAW QUICKLY- Keep the pencil/pen in constant circular and linear motion. Catch the form, not the details.

4. NO ERASING- Gesture drawing's purpose is to develop visual skills which will effect expertise. Erasing breaks focus and wastes time.

Why do we do draw gesture?

To train your hands to quickly sketch what the brain has already seen

To capture the essence of an object
