#2 Gesture Sketching
Gesture Sketching Videos
Gesture Sketching Videos
These two videos are for Gesture sketches which are 30 second to 2 minute long sketches that are designed to capture movement. It takes some practice to draw this fast and capture movement.
Video 1 is a clip from BBC Earth of a slow motion horse. Its about 20 seconds long and needs to be ran 6 times for a two minute sketch.
Video 2: Slow Motion Dancer Anchush Uchill clip. 30 second clip that needs to be ran 4 times for the Gesture Sketch.
#4 Contour Drawing
For Contour drawing you will pick your own subject and draw. You need to eliminate any details like shading and texture to arrive at the most simple representation of the object. You should include details that define the object the best. I always think of contour drawing as if I was trying to create a coloring book page for the object that I am drawing. You must draw either from real life or a photo of a real life object.
#5 Cross- Contour Drawing
Cross-Contour exercises from this video will be used to help students understand the concept. After we finish with the exercises we will apply the process to other objects. Below you will find everything I expect you to draw from this video in screen shots.

#6 Planar Analysis
Planar Analysis
Planar Analysis
This is really a tool for understanding the shape of an object, but in art it is usually associated with drawing portraits and understanding the face. You will watch the video above and stop after the Plane Analysis is over. I have provided you a screen shot of the place I want you to end your exercise at.
18:22 is the stop time for this exercise and here is the final version that I would like for you to get to.
#7 Wire Drawing
We will be following this process to do our wire drawing. On day one, you will need to find a picture online and turn it in so that I can print it for you. Then you can use this process with the masking tape to create your masterpiece!
#8 Hatching

Hatching
This video and lesson will serve as practice for illustrating with hatching. We will need to go over a few basics for setting up a portrait in order to do this lesson.
#9 Cross-Hatching

Cross-Hatching
This video and lesson will serve as a reminder of what Cross-hatching is and how it is used before we apply the concept to a project.
