Gesture: Stance/Energy + check and log



 


How well have you managed to capture the poses?  What could be improved?
I think I managed to capture the poses well.  Identifying the central axis at the beginning, by drawing it, really helped me and particularly helped in achieving the stance or movement in a short sketch.  I don't know what specifically could be improved.  I am sure the end result will improve the more practice I do and using the technique of establishing a central axis so it becomes more second nature when I want to capture a sense of movement.

Do you think that your figures balanced?  If not where did you go wrong?
I think my figures are reasonably balanced to my eye.  I think using the same model over again helps in getting the proportions right without too much trouble.

How did you go about conveying a sense of energy?
I looked to depict the action so I focused on the action rather than anything else.  So if it was someone throwing a ball I would focus on the arms and the ball and the stance.  Focusing on depicting the action seemed to help in drawing it.
