Lilla Rogers mini assignment. The theme is nautical, which is something
I haven't approached in a while so it feels new and exciting. I will post
those sketches next week.
One way to develop a spontaneous, simple look to figure drawing is
to do gesture drawings. During school I was waiting for my kids to get
off the bus. I brought along my sketchbook and would sketch the kids
playing and waiting for the bus. Since kids are always in motion it's a
real challenge!
It's essential to only pick out the most important
and contrasting lines to add drama.
Curves and straight lines lead the eye around the figure.
Barely looking at the paper and examining
how the pose should be edited
is a quick, spontaneous process.
There is almost always something really
special about the results.
Each figure has individual character and personality, just like children do!
This one was sketched as my twin girls and their friend examined something on the playground.
I wonder what it was...
