Beginning Figure Drawing Part 1: Gesture & Structure

Ah thank you!

I’m not exactly sure what we need for the materials, and I’d like to make sure I have everything before I start. By Conte pencils, do we need just black, multiple colors? Does charcoal work or specifically the Conte A Paris pencils?

I d’ont understand gesture

 

[Daniel Daigle]

Gesture can be thought of as a graphic representation of what the figure is doing. It can represents bending, pinching, stretching, wrapping around.. etc with simple curvilinear descriptions. I think of it as a descriptive tool
it may take some time to wrap your head around this concept. I struggled with it for a few years. But you will get there!
