Gesture Drawing and Extended Still Life in my Drawing I Class
Friday, September 18, 2009, 12:02 PM
I've been sketching away these past few weeks for my Drawing I class and out of them all, these three are my favorite. This first sketch is an Extended Still Life where I used my new earthtone charcoals. The anchor was brought up from the Gulf of Mexico from 60 feet and the unbleached sand dollar came from a depth of 102 feet.
Last week, we learned the ins and outs of Gesture Drawing. I love this style of drawing motion and found it to be real effective in capturing the motion of my sucker fish in my 55 gallon aquarium. Eventually, I'd like to do an extended piece of them, perhaps change mediums and get in front of a canvas with my acrylic paint!
This last one is from last week, of a small statue I have, and is an extended piece that started out more like Contour Drawing, then a little of Gesture Drawing layered on top. Finaly, I zeroed in on the details and feel that it turned out real nice; Funny thing is I was going to throw it away after my first stab at it, glad I didn't now!

I am a Graphic Designer, Promotional Model, Artist, Writer, Student, Widow and Mother of one ;) I am Just Nikki and was born and raised in the Heart of Dixie! Nothing compares to Sweet Home Alabama and its number one ranked college team, the University of Alabama, and watching SEC football this time of the year which I've been enjoying for nearly a quarter of a century!
