020115 - Gesture Sketches


Major Flow Traceover

  Behind every great character sketch is a life-filled gesture--a flow, or rhythm throughout the forms and how they relate to each other. To improve my ability to breathe life into my own sketches through posing I busted out the ol' 2B pencil and did some study sketches focusing on this flow. In the top image the majority of the gestures are copy sketches of master animator Glen Keane's characters. I sketched the major flow of action over a few of my favorite gestures to show just how much Glen pushes his poses. Amazing!
