Gestures

These are some of my first gesture drawings. on the image that is marked with the numbers you can see that at position 1 the rib cage and the pelvis is quickly sketched in, to give a starting point. There is a problem with the location of the pelvis, it is located to low, in relation to the rib cage. At point 2 you can see a heavier and bolder line which is used to indicate which areas are closer. In the upper right image the use of heavy lines was too overdone, and you don't get a clear understanding of the depth.

In all of these drawings the figure whole figure fits within the page and no part is left undrawn. Each pose you can get a good sense of what the pose actually was. With the top two standing and the bottom one laying down.

Each drawing is focused on the long axis lines, it is most apparent in the top left and bottom right drawing. The bottom right pose is the only position that is looking away from the viewer and the foreshortening can be seen with the sharp angles at the knees and elbows as well as the diagonal lines receding into the back ground.

These three drawings are from later in the semester which show and overall improvement. The first image shows my ability to draw within a smaller window. The left half of the image is oriented correctly, while the right half of the image is turned to the left. Each of these images show an improvement with spacial relations, with both the right and bottom left image having correct relation of the pelvis of the rib cage.

You can as well definitely tell that the right image is standing looking away from the viewer and the bottom right is curled up on the ground, I think both of those are very clear. I think that these all show improvement from my first images and looks more representational of a human figure.
