  1. Gesture DrawingSketchbooks and pencils today.

  2. From the sketchbooks of Michangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564)

  3. After the lesson, YOU will be able to: Identify and understand the purpose of gesture drawing. Use gesture lines to sketch and capture the movement and form.

  4. Gesture drawing can take the fear out of drawing because it is not meant to be a precise and exact representation of the object. It is simply a way of capturing the essence of a scene.

  5. Gesture drawing can be used to capturethe movement of the subject quickly before the moment is gone.

  6. The subjects should be drawn as simply as possible. Avoid any details. Lay down quickly drawn lines to create form.

  7. Imagine you are describing an object with your hands as you talk to someone - those hand gestures are very like those you make when gesture drawing. The marks are quick and deliberate. You look at the subject and try to sum it up with a few marks, as you might describe it in a few words. Because you don't have much time, each word - each mark - in a gesture drawing must say something significant about the subject.

  8. More Angular IT’S UP TO YOU! But also think about the subject matter and the emotion or expression that you the artist are trying to demonstrate… More Curvy

  9. Draw both heavy and light lines. The heaviest lines indicate areas of visual weight or importance.

  10. Gesture drawings capture movement and energy.

  11. Gesture drawings are quick sketches that capture the essence of an object. They are great for practice and warm up prior to a serious drawing.

  12. Sometimes the drawings are so loose that you may not recognize the object. But the form is still strong.

  15. Gesture Drawings • A model will pose in the center of the room. • You first drawings will be 1-2 minutes long • The time will decrease to 30 seconds with future poses. • Draw mass and form. Do not outline. Draw from the center of the model. Do not draw details. • You must stand and move your elbow and/or wrist as you draw. • Lines should be scribbled and active. • Keep the activity fun and positive with an “I can do it!” attitude.
