Notes from Steven Huston Lecture - Gesture and Structure

Notes from Steven Huston Lecture - Gesture and Structure

Gesture - connection between parts

- Long Axis is curved we are have a fluid design - we are made of water

Structure - separate parts - Human Joints - 3D parts

Human is long in length, Thin in width

When producing a figure we think in a 2 step progress

1. Gesture
2. Structure

 You need enough Structure to find the next Gesture and so on

A sketch class is made for Decisions which marks are needed to successfully communicate a figure or story

STIFF DRAWINGS - NO GESTURE

IF ITS STIFF LONG AXIS NEEDS TO BE CURVED.

IF YOU KNOW WHAT POSE YOU WANT TO DRAW OVER DO IT ITS MOST LIKELY YOU'LL MESS UP BUT IN A GOOD WAY

Fundemental Design = gesture

Fundemental Design line is everywhere

IF YOU TAKE SOMETHING THAT'S CURVED AND STIFFEN IT YOU'VE MESSED UP!!!!
