LESSON NOTES
In this demo, I take you through my process as I conduct a gesture study with a wire armature. I'll show you the process from start to finish so you can see how the methods we've discussed so far are used while sculpting.

With this in-depth demo, I show you how I capture gesture throughout my sculpting process.
I can't know how to develope the gesture study for specific sculpture. plz help me

I would grab some references of gestural drawings or paintings of children that push the gesture. Norman Rockwell comes to mind as he pushes the gesture and expression in his paintings and you might be able to apply that to your sculptures if you do some studies from him. There's probably many other great examples you could learn from. You're doing good!
What gauge wire are you using for the 6" gesture pieces? I know you used 14 gauge for the 12". Did you use 14 gauge for the 6" armatures as well?

For smaller sculptures I use a thinner gauge like 18 or 20 depending on how small I go.

It's looking good! I'd try sculpting thinner and more of a skinny figure. then slowly add the details of the anatomy and the silhouette from different angles. Keep going!
Andrew, Honestly My husband , Felipe, is taking the course. So this is Felipe’s work and process. He really enjoys your course.

Hey looking great! Really can feel the poses. I like that you did multiple studies. keep it up!
It's a bit better now I hope. I find that shapes affect the gesture greatly... And it's hard to take a photo that looks good :D

Great job! I'd try to push the gesture even a little bit further and push the gesture in the extremities as well like the legs. better to have too much gesture than too little with this exercise! Keep it up!
Andrew, I finally figured out how to post images! Here are a few of my attempt at the pose in the last video. Took about an hour to do this. No tools, just my hands. I am really enjoying the class.
Andrew, I have been practicing a bit over the holiday break so i am going to send you some results. I am looking forward to getting started up again.

Hey these are looking great! Definitely capturing the pose and the gesture of a lot of the forms. I would work on smoothing out the outlines as you work, it might be that you’re exaggerating some of the secondary forms or just using clumps of clay that are too large but try to observe the gesture of the outline and focus less on the deviations from that main gesture. Some areas also look too thick compared to others so try to keep things consistent and not add too much too fast in any one area. Keep it up and I look forward to seeing more!
Thanks Joseph, I am enjoying this course :)
I know that building the body is not the purpose of this video, but is it possible to have a view from your standpoint? (might be camera at your fronthead?)
It would be great to see the size of the clay chunks you're picking up, how you're manipulating them and where your placing them in the body.
Keep it up Joseph!

Yes that is something that is tricky to show when sculpting for a camera because it’s easy to forget that the angle I’m seeing is not the angle the camera sees. In the future I may invest in some type of wearable camera for demos but I haven’t been able to do that yet.
