This week we continued to work on the muscles of the arm. On Monday we began the class with gesture drawings. Amy did a short demo on drawing the entire figure in only 30 seconds. A lot of the class (including me) was struggling with this concept so Amy did a front view and side view example of what our gesture drawings should look like. It was nice to be reminded of what was important in a good gesture drawing. Amy reminded us that adding more motion to our arms would give our drawings a lot more energy. She also reminded us that getting the proportions and placements correct was not as important as completing the whole figure in the allowed time.
On Monday, besides gestures and long poses, we also were assigned more muscles in the arm to build on our manikin. Then on Wednesday we drew gestures for the first half of class, and drew a long pose for the second half. While students were drawing, Amy went around and checked everyone's manikins to make sure they were done correctly. There were only a couple minor problems with mine that I fixed pretty easily. On Wednesday were assigned more muscles since we didn't have class on Friday due to Mid Program Review. It was 8 muscles that began in the hand and extended into the arm. After completing my muscles this is what my manikin looks like:
