Initial sketches

Taking on board advice from Ethan Becker's videos, I took stills from videos of myself, my instructor and other class members to practise drawing gesture. Taking them from videos rather than poses from photographs maintains flow and momentum.

I noticed that they resemble cubism artworks, such as Picasso's. This style lends itself to gestural drawings and I have learnt how to look at the body in a different way, breaking it down into its most basic shapes.
