Back to Gesture Class!

First day of the new term with Mark was 15Feb11 and wow did we start off with a fantastic model! Poses were 1 min and 3 mins. Luckily the night before class I tried out some 30sec poses from an online Gesture Drawing Tool. It helped to give myself the illusion that the 1min poses were longer.

1 min

3 min +

(some I refined a bit more before moving on to the next pose)

* These were done using a Black China Marker and a Prang Charcoal Pencil *

Update:

In the comment section there was a question about a figure drawing database of images with the same model in different poses. The only one I can think of is, Character Designs: An Artist Resource - 39 Photosets.

If you know of any other online Figure Drawing resources feel free to share!

Mark's gesture class has been over for a couple weeks now, I miss it! :[
Here are some sketches from the last couple sessions.

(Sorry again for the quality, I'll try and light them better or scan next time)

Gesture Class: Week 6, 7, + 8

Finally caught up photographing the work I've been doing in Mark's Gesture class. So here's three weeks of backed up sketches. :]

Back to classes!

Sorry for the absence, I have been incredibly busy. Had some new (Amazing!) projects pop up and took a detour to Indiana. That's why there are two weeks missing below.

Started a new round of classes (this time all figurative) at the Animation Guild. Here are the results from Mark McDonnell's Gesture drawing class. I LOVE IT!!! If my memory serves me right these are 2min, 3min, 5min, and possibly 7s(?) We focus on super short poses which makes it really challenging and really fun. Some of the more elaborate ones are poses I really enjoyed and had to take further :]

Week 1:

Week 2:

Week 5:

Whew, one update down. A lot more work to scan/photograph, so more to come!
