Motion

I wish I had taken a before picture. I "finished" my assignment for Drawing II yesterday, took it to class today (side note my Drawing II teacher is on maternity leave for this month so I actually have my Figure Drawing I teacher for this month as a sub) and all the students put our pieces on the wall, and the teacher said, you all have the idea but, yours is a drawing of a hand, yours is a drawing of a fan, yours is a drawing of a cat, I don't see any drawings of motion. Wow! she was right! we had done drawings with lines to "show" motion but none of the drawings were "of" motion. So, we spent the whole of class pushing our drawings, potentially over the edge, and she said that, "you almost cant go to far, you are trying to show motion not hands."

so here is my new final piece.

all of the thumb "ghosts" weren't in the first final.

the same with these finger "ghosts"

Final is Pen and Ink wash on paper.

Gestures

One of my Drawing assignments over labor day weekend is to draw 25 one minute, 5 two minute, and 5 five minute gesture drawings of people. Our teacher also gave use a website that will give you a picture of a pose and automatically switch after however long you set it. here are a few of my favorite sketches from my session the other day, I have already finished the assignment, yet I plan to at least double it, it is so much fun trying to capture as much info in as short a time as possible.

these are also sketches that I would like to flesh out more into actual drawings.

this was actually only a 30 second warm up but i really like the lines

I like the foreshortening of the foot coming at the viewer.

once again some nice foreshortening 

this pose is just awesome

I did this 1 minute during my 1 minute session but it came up again for my 5 minutes, it was nice to see what lines I thought were more important or less important when considering how much time I had.

And the same thing again.
