Short, quick poses need clever approaches. One I’m currently honing is to limit the line number and reduce the level of detail. I’ve been studying the drawings of Sempé and have moved my focus to identifying, replicating, and pushing “shape.”
Perspective and proportion maintain a leading role in my toolkit. If the rhythm looks okay, it may be coincidence, or because I drew 70 thousand gesture drawings between 2014 and 2022.
I’m going sketching in town tonight, hoping to put this skill set into action while drawing passersby.
