In this class period we started by creating a minimum of six quick gestural drawings examining the shape of the bicycle and studying the overall form. Later in the class we worked on a lengthier drawing that built on the preliminary studies and focused on composition.
The gesture drawing focuses more on the inference of the figure or subject, not an exact replica of what we see. We practiced quick gesture drawings to train our eye-brain-hand co-ordination to pick up on lines and see where they are in relation to other lines. Before we begin a finished drawing or painting, we gesture it first to get a 'feel' for what you are going to do.
