Sketchbook Spread:
Some human anatomy figure and gesture drawings, no reference



Sketchbook Quote:
"He (the artist) moves through life as he finds it, not passing negligently the
things he loves, but stopping to know them, and to note them down in the
shorthand of his sketch book... He is looking for what he loves, he tries to capture
it. It's found anywhere, everywhere. Those who are not hunters do not see these
things. The hunter is learning to see and to understand — to enjoy."
— Robert Henri

Also this is a quote I like from the reading:

"You may shun landscapes,
saying that you are interested
only in figures or cartoons.
But trees and mountains,
rivers and clouds have
gestures that can be
beneficial for analyzing
action. Mountains stand
erect, lean, lie down, sprawl,
and spill out onto valleys in
alluvial forms. Trees loom,
twist in agonized or
humorous gestures; they stand erect, stretch, lean; some are tired, some perky, some bear
fruit or flower, which in itself is a gesture. Even the atmosphere of a landscape has a
(spatial) gesture."
