Last week I drew some gesture drawings of dogs from Line of Action and here are a few of the results! I enjoyed trying to capture the attitude of each dog. Most of these were drawn in 30 seconds. The ones with more detail were done in two minutes.

Practice, practice, practice
Last year I came across this tweet, which challenged me to start thinking differently about how I draw through the week. For artists big and small, in school, at work or chilling, remember about your veggies! pic.twitter.com/hRPdVuX1fo — trish (@enankaheta) March 2,...
Life Drawing, 15th January
Katrina modelled at this special 'animation' life drawing session with short poses. Normally there are poses from 2 minutes up, but we had several 1 minute poses and (after I begged) some 30 second ones too. We began with a sequence of 1 minute poses.There were...
Action Gestures
I meant to post these last weekend, but forgot. I drew them last month, using the Bodies in Motion site, beginning with 30 second poses and gradually giving myself more time. The site is excellent for capturing poses that a model would never be able to hold.
Muybridge Horse Study
I've been busy with work and a family wedding, so it's taken me a while to post anything new! Here's a group of studies from one of Muybridge's wonderful sequences.
Fabric and Model
Last week I went to a show of students' work where Katrina Ellis, a weaver and life model, modelled with some of her fabric. It was fun, and challenging, to draw.
Dancer Studies
Recently I signed up to Scott Eaton's Bodies in Motion website, which is stuffed to the gills with stunning figure references. The 'Motions' feature sequences of photographs of people dancing, leaping, and fighting. What's lovely about it is that moments of action can...
Bird Gestures
I'm currently boarding a short idea featuring a pigeon, so I thought I'd put in some bird gesture practice! These are a mix of 30- and 60-second drawings. I want to practice wings more, and really get to grips with how they work.
Animal Gestures
Some quick studies from Line of Action - a mix of 30- and 60-second sketches.
