gesture drawing II

In HS Art Elective, we are on the second day of a gesture unit. 

Last class, we worked on traditional gesture drawing, where quick lines capture the motion and essence of the pose, lead by senior Serge.

Today, two high school seniors demonstrated how gesture drawing can be applied to manga or other inventions.

Students were to draw my quick 30 second poses and then turn them into an imaginative scenario.  (Artists use models to learn proportion and then change the context to suit their needs).

I was cast as a super-hero, a swimmer, a rabbit, and more.  They are so creative!
