Use Gesture to Draw Life

The difference between a flat drawing and a drawing that has LIFE.... is all about Gesture. Whether you are drawing from life, or drawing from a photo. In this video I explain what gesture drawing is and how you can radically improve your figure drawing by drawing with gesture. If you want to go further with Figure Drawing and learn how to make dynamic and expressive drawings, this video will explain just that.
Charcoal drawing allows a very natural way of drawing, and with this approach you can draw gesture studies and sketches.
