Gesture Drawing Week 2: Shape

Week 2 of gesture drawing is titled "Shape." This lecture flows naturally from last weeks discussion on the line of action. The line of action implies direction and motion of your figure. Shape takes your gesture drawing one step further. It implies balance and weight as well as direction.

The instructor conveys the ideas of the lecture clearly. The Structure of the class is the same as week one: A brief discussion on the topic followed by a twenty minute session of gesture where Andrew talks through his process, and then a second 20 minute session of gesture drawing.

The critique was a confusing. The two instructors disagreed on whether the shape should be humanoid, or abstract.

The homework is:
1- The drawings from the second drawing session
2- 2 Hours of life drawing with shape
3- Find 10 pictures, and break the figure down into a single shape

Here is my submission.
