This lesson teaches you how to analyze and apply gesture in figure drawing by studying works of Rubens, Rodin, and characters like Abby from "The Last of Us" and Kratos from "God of War". You'll learn how to use gesture to compose figures together, create rhythms and connections in group figures, and understand how body language conveys character and emotion. By examining different poses and shape language, you'll see how gesture is crucial in storytelling and character design. The lesson provides practical techniques for organizing the body into categories of emotion to enhance your own drawings.
