These are the first gesture drawings I did for this class. I quickly added strokes to try and emulate the figures popping up on the screen. I lacked confidence in my lines and tried to make up for it by adding more to get to the right shape.

The figure on the bottom left is one I did after receiving critiques on my first gesture drawings. I was able to improve in terms of flow and more solid lines, but still lacked accuracy and dimension.

I worked on getting the proportions right and cleaning up my gesture drawings. I started adding shading to some of my figure drawings for volume. I also made attempts to alter the figure from what I see in the reference photo to fit the story and character I wanted to create.

This is a looping animation I made on procreate based off of a figure drawing I did. I was going for a sensual feel for the original drawing, but the added movement of the legs swaying back and forth creates a more playful mood.

I placed my drawing of a man reaching his arm out and Akane’s ballerina figure on a background provided in the class image resources. It is a story about a father comforting his daughter that is getting ready for her first ballet performance.
