This gesture drawing tutorial offers an introduction to the world of life and figure drawing through gesture drawing. Gesture drawing is not as technically based as the more advanced life drawing or figure drawing. Gesture drawing is about capturing the movement and spirit of the figure, not the technical details or anatomic perfection.
Many creative disciplines use gesture drawing as a foundational tool. These include fine artist, painting and sculpting. Animators and character designers use gesture drawing as a basis for telling their stories.
