Gesture Drawing with Aaron Blaise

Lessons
01 Animal Gesture Drawing
Construct gesture drawings using basic shapes, with an emphasis on clarity over speed. Focus on key elements such as foot placement, body proportions, and rhythm.
02 Human Gesture Drawing
Focus on conveying the character and emotion of a pose rather than drawing quickly. Gain insight into anatomical structure, the interaction between clothing and the body, and how different fabrics influence form.
03 Gesture Drawing Landscapes
Apply thumbnailing, tone, and value to plan compositions, simplify scenes, and enhance clarity. Explore atmospheric effects, abstract design principles, and water elements through guided examples.
04 Gesture Drawing Objects
Use gesture drawing to capture the essence of everyday objects and environments. Apply three-point perspective for more dynamic and accurate representations. Strengthen prop design skills and artistic awareness through quick, expressive practice.
