Gestures versus Rapid Contour Drawings

Gestures


1-minute drawings capturing energy inside the pose
using a half stick of soft conte, driving it around on your paper capture movement ... sensitively use line variety to describe feelings of a burning muscle, a stretched torso, a hanging hand, etc.
(think firefly inside see-through glass encasement of the figure leaving a trail behind itself depicting what the figure is experiencing and parts of the body are doing - thinking in terms of verbs rather than nouns - these drawings are not trying to capture what the model looks like)
