Hi all, I've decided I'm going to go ahead and document my coursework here and see what comes of that. I've found gesture fascinating to explore. I've never come across it as a neat concept before, so have never focused on it in this way. I found that sketching in the gesture with the flat of a crayon, then adding contour with the point was a method which worked for me. I make wire sculptures, and have hit a bit of a wall when it comes to making figures in motion (not kinetic, like dancing figures etc), which is why I enrolled on these courses. So, I've sometimes been trying to think in 3D and bring out spiraling lines in my gesture drawings, so I can develop them into wire sketches. Any feedback is welcome. Thanks

These are fun! That last one looks like my wife. Shes 9 months pregnant right now. Gonna happen any moment... I'll show it to her. I'm sure she'll enjoy it :)

Ya such great atmosphere and incredibly simple value composition. I'm working on a figure study right now. I'm in the early phases of figuring out the simple value composition. What do you think of this?

Your studies are simply fabulous!
