Homework assignment #2 Gesture bean figures



First: starting this week , EVERY WEEK in your sketchbook I want to see ten drawings of hands....at most one or two per page of sketchbook. They must be numbered and dated.


Second: For this week, In your sketch book I want you to take the concept we covered of the bean and apply it to the figures in the pieces.  The main goal is to analyze to form of the figure.

Step 1:Look at these drawings/photos for examples,

Step 2: Read through the pages in the book on gestures

Step 3: Draw 20 bean/gesture figures on sheets in your sketchbook from the pictuires provided at the bottom of this page.

Remember- Stay loose, focus on volumes, don't worry about rendering. 
The beans we've been doing in class. Think the upper bean is the torso, bottom bean the hips.
The direction of the beans indicate the shape and direction of the torso.
Look for places where the body "squashes" and stretches. One side will squash the other stretch

note the twist of the hips and the chest away from each other. and how you can start dividing the bean into body forms. The midsection where the abdominals and the laterals and obliques are is an area that twisats like a twoel between two solid objects( The chest and the hips)  
The abdominal area twists like a cloth above.
