IMPROV GESTURE CLASS

We have a great drawing class at work for story artists that focuses on capturing the acting and the pose rather than studying anatomy. We have two improv actors come in and act out scenes that we come up with. They never stop moving and while they're improvising we try to capture the pose and the story. I like to take it a step further and try and capture the pose but also draw the character I see in my head while they're acting. It's great practice for both the artists and actors. Here are a couple of my scribbles:
