Sketching-People

STATIONARY SUBJECTS
People who aren’t moving around much are great
opportunities to skip traditional gesture drawing and jump
straight to sketching with volumes. This woman has very clear
shapes that naturally lend themselves to simple forms.
GESTURE AND VOLUME TOGETHER
You don’t have to choose to establish a drawing through either a gesture
or through volumes—they can be used in tandem. This sketch goes back
and forth between capturing a form and rhythmic gesture lines. Form
flows into line and back again into form. Use whatever tools you have at
your disposal to capture the action with enough information that it can
be developed later after the model has gone.
