Gesture Drawing For Beginners

Gesture drawing is the basic skill required to master the art of drawing.

To lessen the learning curve you can start off by drawing faces or figures of various people--fat ones, thin ones, scraggly ones, bearded, ugly, beautiful and all those in-between.

To capture these basic elements you apply gesture drawing which will only be a few basic lines showing the main characteristics only--leaving out all detail!

Drawing rapidly gives your drawing life and vitality and there is always less tendency to add detail which actually kills a drawing.
