What is a Gesture Drawing?A non-verbal communication – can be seen on the human figure, animals and even objects, a drawing used to study the human figure
Sometimes called an action drawing: the action a figure is performing
Limit looking at your paper as much as possible and use the whole page – DRAW BIG!
Use a continuous line and DO NOT ERASE if you make a mistake – JUST IGNORE IT!

Focus on:SHAPE! SHAPE! SHAPE!: Focus on the shape of the model – not the fine details
Use your whole arm when drawing – don’t grip the pencil too tight
Remember, this is an exercise – have fun with it!
Keep in mind…
We are NOT couch potatoes…
