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

Always hard to include the face in a short pose, but it often pays off. Norm @grizandnorm #gesturedrawing #lifedrawing #figuredrawing

Fun anatomy drawing at last! I need to sit my butt down and do this regularly.

I did this back in August???? Various overlay studies of the same pose over and over. I love breaking down the same thing is various ways.

I forgot to note these guys’ names. They were a pair of tweenie siblings with really sleek, snake-like features

Tonal gestures with students from this week so far. Making the best of models in real life as well as over zoom. There’s a big difference between the two, but with a little adjustment in process and mindset, both can be valuable. But I can also argue that one is superior. #lifedrawing #gesturedrawing #tonalgestures #weeklydrawings #watercolor #pencil #blackwingmatte (at New York, New York)

Sketch dump! I finished the sketchbook I bought in Italy so I’ve been chipping away at this greytone one I got a while ago. I find toned paper excellent for practicing figure drawing :)

This is an old sketch from 2014 based on my 12 year old cousin’s dance gestures. Now she’s 16, dances solos, paints, and is on her way to being invincible! Happiest of birthdays, Tori Chan! You’ll always be my favorite Japsican. Love you and I hope to see you when you get back!
