the second class | life drawing f'15


There is often a disconnect between the student and the paper, when charcoal is introduced as a drawing tool. While ideal for its range of marks, uniform lines, all rendered with a tense grip, scream too much control. Enter gesture drawing, with its brand of rapid-fire marks. When no longer confined by the intellect, charcoal caresses the surface of the flesh, with lines that bend, flow, and pulsate. Forget about perfection. A far more engaging objective: Make a sexy line.
