Finally, some more gestures. I got caught up in finals and ended up slacking in the doodle department. On the bright side, I have some sculptures and painting to show for it. I’ll post more about them later.
This time around, they are mostly from life, and not TV. XD

Random stuff ranging to things I doodled in figure painting class to watching Hulu commercials between segments of 30 Rock and Grimm. Oh, and that’s my old Gamecube in the corner–collecting dust while parched precariously on the edge of the self. I should play something on it, someday. One of the Legend of Zelda games, maybe? I’ve yet to beat any of those.

My sister, dog, and cat.
This was drawn while we were watching the Office, hence the random forehead of Dwite in the middle of it all.

These gestures drawings are observations and notes make while I watch TV or laze about elsewhere.
This is something new that I am starting as a means to fill every page of my sketchbooks, as well as a way to fine tune my ability to capture the “essence” of people and things more quickly.
This first one was drawn while watching Doctor Who.

This second one was drawn while watching wrestling, and then Seinfield. The dog in there is my rat terrier, who was sleeping on the bed while I watched TV. Regarding the wrestling match, I happened upon the last few minutes of it as I was flipping channels. I gotta say, in addition to being a potentially good source for catching combative gestures, it was hilariously dramatic. I might have to watch more from now on.

“How to Draw Animals” by Jack Hamm
If drawing animals aren’t your forte, then I suggest checking out this book by Jack Hamm. It’s not your average how-to-draw-animals book. Rather than just showing a few vague bubble-to-figure drawings, as most do, this book does a great job at providing in-depth information on the motion mechanics and anatomy of varying animals in order to give the reader a greater understanding of their movement and form. |
