In this course you’ll be introduced to three different kinds of gesture drawing: straight line studies, elliptical modeling and dynamic exaggeration. Each kind of gesture drawing will challenge you to experience the figure in new and unique ways that will ultimately improve your figure drawing overall.

Straight Line Studies will reveal the dynamism and structure at the root of poses. Elliptical Modeling is a new way to conceive of volumes  that go beyond contours to describe form.  Dynamic Exaggerations will teach you how to dramatize the figure. Exaggeration issued by both historic artists as well as animators and comic book illustrators of the present.

The recommended materials for this course are simple:

18×24” drawing paper

Ball Point Pen or Graphite Pencil

Any Drawing Pencil

As with Brent’s other courses, if you don’t have these exact materials, you’re welcome to use whatever materials you have on hand.
