The timea were 30s, 45s, 1m, and 2m
Thank you
Hey Christopher Lebreault,
When we do a gesture drawing, we are looking for an "s" or "c" curve that describes the pose from top to bottom. I took your sketch and did a gesture drawing over it based on what I think it might have been. Notice I included the head in the gesture, it's important to not think of it as an after thought. From the gesture you can then draw a structural drawing and then the figure. I hope my sketch helps you to understand what I mean.
Hello! thank you for your feedback. Looking at the gesture example you provided, I am a bit confused about the head portion. Mostly because in the lessons stan does the head separately( either head or torso first) and either draws the gesture or draws a line of action (which is what I have done as well) on your notes, I 100% agree ,my stretch is contradicting my pinch. I will make sure that I am more aware of that in my pieces.
Thank you very much for providing the notes and example!
