Past Gesture Drawings

These are the first three gesture drawings I selected to 

best describe the knowledge I gained throughout life drawing the first part of the semester. 

Drawing #1:

This drawing is a general 30 second drawing that captivated t

he general idea of a human f

orm, but as show by point A the drawing is only formed of outlines. Point B is pointing the the body as a hole and shows the lack of proportions and shape that a body nat

urally forms.

Drawing #2: 

This drawing is when we began to use center access lines. This includes line down the middle of the body which is school by points C & D. After learning about center access lines it was important to the class that we understand the body even though we are using simple lines. Point E is addressing the lack of shape to the leg.   It was important to Amy that we shape the thy and calves

with a simple

 bowed line. This helps the gesture 

become more of a human form rather than a stick person.  

Drawing #3: 

This drawing is the beginning stage of using an egg shape for the rib cage and learning the curves in the spine. Point F is addressing the large curve in the spin that shapes with our rib cage. Point H is the egg shape we started to use for the ribs. Point H is the beginning of understanding the hips and gluteal area. 

 Lastly point I is showing that I was beginning to comprehend the use of line to form the thy and calve curves. I think in this gesture I begin to understand all of the points that we are learning, but I still have a problem with the egg shaped rib. I notice that it is too oval and the body is too long for the proportions.
