Introducing Flash vs Gestures
Drawing fiends. I am going to start posting dev between hand flash three minuters and fast gestures which take half an hour, with additional time for hands and feet.
I draw professional gestures. David Mcneills books about gestures and one of his disciples books by Elena Levy. I did drawings for.
Fashion gestures are deeply engrained in type that can easily show up in my flashes for women.
Not men tho. Men its more art traditional or expressive, muscle bounds in the nude male photo parlay loading with device… My flash males are more religious almost, discussions with Dante and Camus and Bataille, etc., yeah kinda..
I think about how to draw the body via gestures through hand drawings. I dawdle slow down by hand and make measurement with my fingers, find the body by way of its frame with my pencil and eraser. I use erasers for shading, and in order to pick up as a sculpting technique for light.
Different drawing on computer. Computer gestures, are sculpted off photos clients give me for what they want, and then I transform, using as a basis a minimum line technique, into a serious gesture. Mine have bit of a sense of cartoon too them, so that they translate very quickly to the eye but remain true to purpose, a serious gesture drawing.
The hand gestures I do, play with Vincent early Nudes, going for gesture on the body.
If I go to charcoal its a painting...
Flashes. Flash pen and inks. Or bright liquid watercolor.
Those I want to be expressive. They find something while I am drawing and then express it, is the best way to put it. And its really a letting go of representation enough so that the expression takes over.
Problems are when the expression begins to multiply while drawing, thats why you just do em and let em go. Otherwise they get lost, I call the three body problem. If it goes to 3 ideas as its expression in the pictures while drawings, they are cooked, they loose directness.
Two more gestures. Two more flashes.
