In order to develop my skills as an animator and continue to explore animation principles, I have been practicing gesture drawing.
something that I find myself struggling with is confidence in drawing figures in action because I am unsure of how to depict an anatomically correct figure in motion, and it gets even harder when considering different angles and perspective
Kate recommended that I look at the music video animation 'Thought of You' by Ryan Woodward, which is in fact one of my favourite animated music videos. Ryan Woodward's style and use of gesture drawing to create figures is a big inspiration for my own style, and my intention in this exercise was to emulate some of his techniques to develop my own figure drawing.
in particular, I am trying to practice drawing line of action in figures to create more fluid and elegant movement in my figures.
