Gesture Drawing



Skill Name: Gesture Drawing

GESTURE DRAWING

Gesture drawing is the practice of capturing the movement, balance and energy of a figure before focusing on details. It helps artists communicate action, weight and personality using as few lines as possible.

Why is it useful?

Gesture drawing prevents stiff poses and encourages artists to think about movement before anatomy or costume.
