Gesture Drawing Emily Stokes

Gesture Drawing is… “…an all-encompassing , simultaneous overview of the wholeness of forms and their relationship in space. It is energetic, flexible, nonlinear, nonspecific, intuitive, and constantly open to readjustment.”

Why do we need to know anything about gesture drawing? -you can convey a point or idea quickly and economically

Gesture Drawing -Look at the subject, not the paper! -Look for the longest line in an object – is it curved, straight? -Keep your hand and arm engaged with the page at all times -Move through the object, not around the edges -Vary the amount of pressure you apply to the drawing tool -Keep strokes rounded

Scribbled Gesture Drawings -Use a ball-point pen or pointed drawing tool -Never let your drawing tool leave the page -Use denser scribbles in darker shadows, and lighter/looser lines in well-lit areas -Don’t be afraid to be messy or over-exaggerate

Mass / Mass and Line Gesture Drawing -Use the broad side of your charcoal or crayon in addition to the tip of it

Mass and line

Sustained Gesture Drawing -Begin by quickly blocking in the shapes and critical lines, as you would in a quick gesture drawing. -After two-three minutes of initial gesture, stop, examine your drawing in relation to the still life, and begin making edits. -Correct angles and lines -Add subtle tones by rubbing your finger or vine charcoal -Squint, and look for contrasts between light and dark

Think of sustained gesture drawings as slightly more refined gesture drawings. Start with same intensity as you would with a gesture, but then begin making key adjustments.
