Gesture


As I'm focusing on trying to get a sense of drawing with these fabric birds, I thought it would be a good idea to actually draw some birds. I haven't done much drawing in the last few years(more like 10).


At least not gesture drawing.

Very fast loose captures of the form,



Its is a good way to learn which are the important shapes,



And which lines instill the character,


Nothing precious about it, digging it out of the paper with my hands.

Good work...you really convey a sense of life and movement.

If this is what you come up with after 10 years I am very impressed!
