Contour & gesture · 4 of 4 · 7 min
Thirty-second poses
Gesture is the axis of the pose, not the costume. You are after the lean, the reach, and the weight.
- 1
Spine first
One line from the head through the pelvis. If that line is wrong, the limbs will decorate a mistake.
- 2
Then the reach
The arm that is doing something gets the next line. The other arm can be a note.
- 3
Stop when the time stops
A finished gesture is not a finished figure. When the pose changes, leave the sheet and start the next one.
