Beginning Figure Drawing Part 1 Assignment

[J Chui]

Hi everyone, first-time poster here,

I’ve been working through Steve Huston’s Beginning Figure Drawing course I and just finished the “gesture + structure” section. I worked through the assignment and was wondering if I could get a bit of feedback. Looking over it again I think I may have gotten carried away with detail at some parts, not considering stuff like the long axis curve, and having unconfident, scribbly lines.

Hey J , that’s a great course, i enjoyed Steve’s lectures.

Your drawings look good they don’t seem to have too much detail, you can throw long “slashes” to find that fundamental design line, that long axis curve.

I would suggest you repeat this exercise  10 or 15 times, and take life figure drawing sessions once a week keeping the gesture/ structure ideas in mind,  you will start finding the gesture easily and your best efforts will appear very natural and alive that would make up stand out ( unless your peers are more experienced, which would be better learning-wise).
