Gestures 101

This class was amazing! Gestures are so tricky. I've never tried drawing gestures and didn't realize how challenging they are. This class was a great starting point. Now all I need is hours and hours of practice. 

Homework #1. 30 sec drawingsGestures 101 - image 1 - student project

 HW #2: Analyze Movement (1 minute)

Homework #3: Finding Key Frames. Simple Poses

I drew these in 1 minute to get the general structure/flow but returned after the timer to redefine the lines.

Homework #4: I found this homework assignment to be tough. I drew these 6 frames repeatedly and at one point I felt I was getting better...then started getting worse. I finally threw in the towel and decided to post what I had.

 Homework 7: Exaggerate/Simplify (2mins)

I found it very hard to exaggerate the body since I only know how to draw what I see, but I gave it a shot. They look wonky for sure but I guess that's part of the process.
