Gesture Class

So I'm taking a Gesture Drawing Class at the Union with Steve Brown. It's a pretty awesome class. It's not so much about making an anatomically correct drawing in 3 minutes as it's about drawing a story in 3 minutes. I find it a very challenging and fun class. You really have to work on thinking quickly and being willing to use the model as reference only really.

These drawings were done in class and I would need to rework them for any other purpose. I just wanted to share them in their really messy glory.

From the first class.



From the second class, the model was dressed as Aladdin.



From the third class. The model was dressed as a medieval court jester.





For this pose the model had his hands tied behind his back but this scenario popped into my head.



I'm also taking an animation class with Alex Topete at the union. I'm enjoying that class as well. We were supposed to do some caricatures last week. I forgot and then spent some time at work drawing these two. Not really caricatures to me because they can be pushed so much farther. But it was silly fun drawing some iconic poses.
