20. This Week in Class (January 29-February 2)

Monday: continue perspective play drawings

Tuesday (block): figure drawing; gesture drawing of one another in circle...fast! 

Demo of knees/volumes/foreshortening; 10 or more gesture drawings to create a page of compositions with pencil or charcoal pencil.  (first focus on legs from different angles...then arms...the whole figure). Midway...watch demonstration of gesture drawing video. 

tips:  not drawing around the figure, but THROUGH...showing lines of action...tilts of hips, foreshortening and VOLUMES!

Thursday: finish up time on perspective/figures

Friday:  fast gesture sketches continued (demo of angles, main gesture of the figure, and shift to compressed charcoal for shifts in volume/value).
