ABSTRACT

With all due respect to Steve Huston, the Anatomy Instructor, I encouraged the artists to forget anatomy for the time being, and to use the broad side of a broad pen, drawing as if they were having a seizure — going for a style of drawing that was foreign to them. Halfway through class we switched to

a fi ne point pen, drawing as freely and delicately as we could. The idea was to get them to draw not a photographic copy of the model , but to draw their impression of the gesture .
