Animation Workshop: Week 2

On Friday we continued with gesture drawing before doing the standing up animation exercise, but this time we drew one gesture then had to guess and draw the gesture we thought the model could do next from that position. It was really interesting trying to draw a gesture that wasn't in front of you. We then did blind gestures where we had the model do 3 or 4 poses and we had to try and remember them then draw them once the model had sat down, I think I did pretty well at this because I remembered all of the poses. Finally we had someone acting out an action such as hitting a golf ball or throwing a ball and we had to overlay the key poses, so the first and last movement. These drawings looked pretty crazy!



At one point in the lesson Meg told me to try and loosen up even more, using one line/scribble to try and get the whole figure on the page at once.
