When my website crashed, I lost the Gestures section, which had a nice weekly post of my life drawings. I re-photographed a few of my favorites and compiled them below as an archive. I’ll add a second archive once I figure out where I squirreled away my filled tablet from last year.
Edit: Found my filled tablet! I’ve added some new images below.
Today we had a portrait model, without our usual 2 minute gesture warm up – just went right into the portrait:
~35 minutes sanguine drawing pencil on toned paper

I find that I really enjoy the 2 minute gestures we do during our life drawing group. Aside from the challenge of capturing the figure in such a short time, the final result has a great, loose, dynamic feel to it. This section is for some of my favorite gestures each week.
Note: Due to my website crash, the images have winked out of existence in the Gestures section. On the plus side, my life drawing group meets each week – so new Gestures are on their way.
