Sorry Jason, I actually forgot to put "Rework" on my last rework of the planar analysis of fabric. Here is the picture of that by the way.

About the Gestural Self-Portraits:

I felt quite excited to do this project, I usually feel like drawing the subject is more important than seeing the picture. It was exhilarating, liberating even, to draw recklessly! Likeness is not the goal, just let it flow and go the way it wants. Just let it all go and be. Sometimes I feel cheated when I draw, I feel lied to, it's the same when I see art. Not in a good way. These however, they don't lie. What is there is just something that happened. It's not even a reflection of the artist anymore, it's a reactionary contraction of lines. They were quite refreshing, let everything go. I just wish we did more than the contour in class; something more liken to these in class would of been interesting and fun as well. just a thought.

Awesome Gestural Work I like:
1st is by the great illustrator, Austin Briggs. His line is really great to me (it may not show in this picture) I encourage you to zoom in to full size and relish in all the details.


Some gesture of Bernie Fuchs in the studio I like.


Just some general gesturing from some random person I have. Very excited to loosen up, have never really gestured with objects before, but as long as I don't have to use the ruler anymore I am happy. Yes, I think this next week will be great. Not too sure about getting all the materials i am hoping I don't forget any (especially the sharpened stick). I hope everyone else is as excited as I am, I think we should get as crazy as allowed next week.

Last but not least, gesture of a Panda I did.
