    Gestures and all that jazz





    Gestures of distress, excitement (like waiting for a new episode of Power Rangers), despair (which needs more work) lifting a heavy object and quick gesture practice while attempting to capture my art history lecturer on paper. I know, lol anatomy. I'm practicing!

    I believe you can draw anatomy pretty damn well, lol. Amazing job on all of your gesture sketches. LOL, your comparison of excitement to a new Power Rangers episode is priceless.

    You know what sucks? Okay, we come from the Art department where we learn how to draw all the anatomy in proportion. When I took 318, I had to break out of that and draw stuff OUT of proportion. Apparently, my blind contours were way better than everything else. :P It's like learning one thing, and teaching myself how to turn that skill off. hehehe.

    Anyways, when drawing gestures for the poses that you will pose on a pre-rigged character later(which is what I'm assuming you're doing), keep it simple and easy to read. Imagine your pose in sillhouette. Is it still readable/ can you still tell what's going on?

    Keep it up, eh?^^
