Sketch Of The Day - Gesture drawing (nudity!)

Focusing on drawing the human figure I have done some gesture drawing lately for exercise. Don't know what gesture drawing is? Fantasytree to the rescue!

Fantasytree tip #12: If your looking for a really good introduction to gesture drawing from a great art teacher (and brilliant artist!), you should take a look at Glenn Vilppus article at Animation World Magazine. It can be found at:

AWN:s
Vilppu drawing online

All his articles at that site are amazing and actually make an art course in themselves. Much recommended!


Here is my favorite of my recent gestures - 2 min sketch with a 6B pencil on A4, trying out the "under palm" grip for looser arm movement:

  1. I like ths pcture. It has a lightness about it and it really has an element of movement in it!
    Good job!

  2. Thanks, I'm glad to hear that. Gesture sketching often results in interesting results as instinct - the unconscious - is allowed to roam freely.
