Figure drawing is a huge topic in art. Drawing the human figure is a challenging
endeavor, but it is very rewarding as well. After all, what subject matter is more
interesting than ourselves? Like other challenging subjects, close observation is key in
producing successful drawings. Combined with gesture drawing and practice, the
nuances of the human figure can be mastered. This lesson will take a look at basic
figure drawing practices, including a four step process that can be used to make the
drawing process easier.
Gesture Drawing
Gesture drawing is
simply drawing the
figure quickly with little
to no details. The
purpose is to quickly
draw the correct
proportions of the
figure and depict the
pose or “gesture” of
the figure. Gesture
drawing is an excellent
drawing drill to
improve observation
skills and gain a better
understanding of the
figure in general. The
four step approach can
be used to create
gesture drawings.
