Gesture Drawings

Gesture drawing is a loose form of sketching that attempts to capture your subject’s basic form and express movement. The nature of short poses is that the model can be more expressive and dynamic, so the challenge is to capture a little drama in the sketch, and for me, as always, trying to capture a recognisable likeness too. A good model can hold a fairly dynamic pose for up to 10 minutes, and there’s a few models who can express the drama for much longer.
