Out-Of-Class Gesture - AJ Roberts

For this out of class drawing, I used charcoal pencils and erasers. The gesture I chose for this was the process of starting my car. This involved getting in the car, closing the door, starting the car, then putting on my seat belt. So I simplified the movements the closing of the door becoming the line coming in from the left, the circle being the turning of the key and starting the car, and finally, the other line representing the seatbelt being pulled and buckled. After I did a bunch of strokes with the charcoal I mixed them, creating a gradient I guess. Then with the same gesture, I used an eraser to remove the charcoal.
