Gesture stuff I did today from Quickposes. I've been doing a ton of gestures lately and very few value studies (digital seems a little bit esoteric for me right now). Occasionally I'll throw some bones or muscles in a sketch to see if I can remember roughly how they're shaped and where they're placed.
I think going forward I'll probably try to figure out a better workflow for storing these gestures. Thus far I've tried grabbing the image and moving it off of the canvas (if I'm using those terms correctly) so I have a new, clean workspace and then marquee selecting and resizing the figures. For the following image I would draw a gesture, resize it, and then tuck it off to the right side of the canvas, but I've noticed now when I shrink them as much as I do that I lose a lot of information. Still, my drawings are getting looser and I'm pretty excited about how quickly I'm capture little pieces of the poses.
I might run down to Sarasota this Friday for the open figure session at Southern Atelier to try my hand at the real thing.
Crits welcome and encouraged!
(EDIT: Also, here's a link to my SB on TAP: http://theartposse.net/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1768 if you want to see how bad my value stuff has been xD)
