Speed drawing is essentially what i did with the first two tasks of this brief. They were able to capture movement and life in a few moments, Animator Matt Timms explains
"Energy and force is what i try to look for in quick sketches. By not having much time to capture a pose you can focus on engaging with your subject matter and unshackling yourself from detail. I try to see the line of action and what is driving this energy, where the body is grounded and what relationship the parts of the body have with each other. Which part of the body is taking the weight and how may this action cause a reaction in other parts of the body? Does the placement of the foot mean they have to put more strength through their leg and hips, does this twist the torso? In summary: energy and force - the line of action - balance and structure - no details."
Speed sketching doesn't mean randomly throwing lines onto the paper there still has to be control. Showing the body shapes and weight depending on the thickness of lines as well as speed. Quick sketches are a side of life drawing that helps us to understand the life that something has, not necessarily the proportions but the essence of the action being performed.
There isn't any need to be precious with speed drawings quick and direct there is no need to rework or go back over lines and make them more sustained drawings.
