Gesture drawing from today:

[left]What can I improve?[/left]
[left]I´m having dificulties with “static” poses. It doesn´t happen with “dynamic” ones.[/left]
[left]I think I´ll continue with this until I fell secure to step to next lessons.[/left]

Hey Rodrigo,

Your action poses are great, and you have to try sketch more relaxed ones to improve. Just keep trying.

Have you ever read something about Glenn Vilppu ? I wrote about him in my last post, he has great articles about Poses and Gestures.

Take a look in my thread or in my weblog (look at the signature) I have a bunch of links of their articles online.

I´m learning gestures right now, but I can suggest one thing to do convincent relaxed poses… take a look about the concept of [b]Contrapposto.

[/b]Basically it´s a traditional and usual way to draw stiffnes (não rígida, não relaxada) poses[i].
Looking at the front of the subject, imagine a line crossing horizontaly the shoulder and another one the hips. In Contrapposto these lines always will be in different angles.

[/i]That´s it.

Agnaldo: yeah! I know Glenn Vilppu. In fact, I´m learning from his book and DVDs. Thanks for the links. Your sketches are great. You are improving very fast.
