Must remember and repeat this stuff.  Great first two lessons that augment the stuff in the figure construction course.

Loved the intro lecture and great to have the book as an accompaniment. Slightly don’t understand the suggestion that ‘don’t worry, no one will see these initial drawings’ as I think gesture drawings can be the end point and are things of beauty in themselves. Aren’t some of Rodin and Giacometti’s drawings just gesture?

Level 1 assignment. Definitely prefer the ones in which either the darks or the light dominate.

Bought the Gesture book. Looking forward to Gesture the Movie.

Tried the exercise in oil. First messy attempt but I reckon I'll improve if I do 50 more

Something so simple but it works. Thank you.

Had a go in oils. Goes without saying that mixing colours was difficult and I missed having "undo". I think using greys broadly worked though.

Revisiting this course for gesture and mannequinization in anticipation of Michael Hampton's gesture course in February. Had a go at a horse and I must admit, breaking down into shapes helped. Although just as with my attempts at humans, the torso is always too loooong.

Followed along. I definitely preferred the version with the less saturated purples.
