ABSTRACT
On the illustration page are a couple of correction/suggestion sketches made in the last gesture class. See if you can see the thinking behind my corrections. If I may borrow Hannah’s “tableness,” and “crowness,” in describing a thing’s essence, these then are a character’s, “lookness,” and “leaningforwardness, ” (drawing #2 and 3). Then there is a drawing where the student spent too much time and energy on the head, missing out on the benefi ts found in the overall gesture. After all, the head shape and head attitude work in unison with the body – you can’t draw one without knowing what the other is doing (see drawing #4).
