life drawing part one.

hi all! this is my first post on the new blog.  been planning for the past year to get around to making one so i suppose with the free summer time, now is the perfect time to start!
I thought i would start things off with some Life Drawing from this year in college.

these two where 30 second poses. i love gesture drawing,  there is something about just being able to be expressive and not as controlling with your drawing which can really help animators with there flow in there line and work.
When you stop yourself from just making a pretty picture and start trying to capture the movement, line and gesture of the figure you will see great improvements in your work.  

These two where sustained drawings. they last around 15 to 20 mins.
