Introduction to Gesture - working through the assignments
-
Just keeping on with the course.
I'm up to the hands and feet now. 
I work as a substitute teacher, and also drew some hands of students while they were doing a math test this week.

Lots of heads.

Finished (sort of). This is my attempt for the last assignment on interactions. I struggled a bit and didn't do that great a job. Also, I tried out lots of Procreate pens trying to find one that was good for expressive sketching. I found Inka was pretty good.
I hope you don't mind me sharing all my assignments here. It helps me make sure I actually do them. Thank you! I'll keep sketching.ETA: actually, I just saw there's one more assignment.

@lucy_gow Very nice work! I can see your progress in these from some of the beginning sketches to the more recent ones, which is awesome!

@lucy_gow Thanks for posting and sharing all your work, I am struggling to get through this course, so your work has been an encouragement. I get the ideas but find it hard to implement them in my work. Such a useful course with loads of helpful practice like the first drawing course before it.

@Kristen-Lango Thank you! It really is a very good course with so much in it.
-
@PenAndrew I'm glad if it helps. This course has been a lot for me, but it's really helpful and thorough.
After I started this, I found another thread from a couple of years ago: https://forum.svslearn.com/topic/9864/gesture-drawing-class-work-anyone-want-to-post-their-work-with-me
Their drawings are amazing and they show how they did a lot of the exercises. -
@lucy_gow Thanks for sharing this Lucy. I like your drawings very much.

@lucy_gow These are fun, and I see progress in them, as they get more and more expressive. I especially like the ones where you drew the shape underneath in green and some of the facial expression ones. Also, I recognized some of these poses immediately! (One really gets to feel like they know that couple after a while
) -
@lucy_gow Nice! These are looking great! I would’ve never thought that hands by themselves would be a gesture. It makes sense though.I am doing the figure drawing course right now but this is next on my list. And then I think I need to learn how to color digitally. Too many things to fit in!!
