TUESDAY TIPS — Wire Gesture

Here’s another way to approach Gesture Drawing. In order to shut up the part of my brain that tries to analyze and do things step by step. Overthinking often leads to stiff posing. So I sometimes draw with an almost continuous line. This way, I get across an idea or feeling very fast without thinking it through to much. this way, I get an organic feeling to the drawing without trying too hard. I can then go back and fix things or bring more clarity by drawing over it. But, I try to draw the figure in a three-dimensional space. So, as best as I can describe it, I use the line like a wire in space. This way, I get a fluid movement through the body that pushes through to the feet, and all the way to the fingers. For me, it’s the best way to not get caught up in the details. There’s always room to go back and fix things. That’s the one area where digital comes very handy. Just create a new layer on top and use the loose wire drawing as the gesture to draw on top of. Tell me if that helps you see Gesture in a different way. This is a personal approach but I’m to hear if anyone else’s brain works that way too. - Norm @grizandnorm #100TuesdayTipsBook #100TuesdayTips #TuesdayTips #grizandnorm #GestureDrawing #drawingtutorials #drawingtips

15 things drawn by Valerie LaPointe.

I love the originality of these sketches. The book 642 Things To Draw is literally that, a book with blank pages that gives you 642 things to draw. What I think is so great about Valerie’s take on this is that instead of just simply drawing the thing, she draws a little story or situation based on the thing. Giving them a very children’s book illustration kind of feel. 

My favorites of these are: a ponytail, a ladybug and the Empire State Building -but I think the others are great too!
