Jenny’s 100 Day Challenge from Gestures to Forms

[Jenny]

I would like to be able to bring the flow of gestures into forms, possibly including value studies later into the challenge.

Main focus:

• gesture in figures and animals
• values and forms

Other studies:

• perspectives
• anatomy

Very beautiful gestures Jenny! I’m struggling with gesture flow myself on this challenge.

Thanks Chi, Joshua!

Yes, capturing gestures is fun and challenging! I feel that it’s like capturing the transient feeling of a pose and put them down in lines that no words can describe.

I will alternate between structured/mechanical trainings of the basic forms and loose/free capturing of gestures. Hopefully they will reinforce each other and lead to some improvements :).

Day 5: solidifying gestures, checking out progress with a more finished cast drawing.

[Jenny]

Day 5 (2): more gestures, and trying to carry gestures into lines and shadows with more finished forms

[Jenny]

Day 4: Trying to capture gesture on cats

Then back to figures to see if I can capture the flows better
