The Process:
- Practice a couple gestures either in your sketchbook or on a piece of newsprint to get back into the motion of it.
- Using a small piece of drawing paper draw an extended gesture drawing of the flowers on the table. (5-7 minutes)
- Use the entire space of the paper and consider composition.
- Using a small piece of newsprint create 3 thumbnail gesture drawings to decide on the best composition for your final drawing
- Decide on your best composition from your thumbnails and grab a small piece of drawing paper. Draw your gesture first very lightly to serve as your “under drawing”. Once your gesture is sketched out begin drawing the flowers in contour, getting as many details as possible and erasing out the gesture below.
- Remember to vary line weights and to make sure your lines are solid and not sketchy in the end.
