This is my closet in my dorm room, drawn from my bed. I found that making a light mark with 6B charcoal is hard when sketching. It is a lot easier when using the newspaper pad in class. Looking back, I see this as more of a contour drawing that is a little sketchy. Gesture drawings should be more fluid than this.

This is the "Kissing Bridge" by Cherry Hall on WKU's campus. I found it difficult to get the spacing right between the posts. This is another example of a sketchy contour drawing instead of the intended gesture drawing which should be more fluid and loose like some of the drawings below.

This is Van Meter drawn from the road on WKU's campus. Again, I found the spacing to be difficult between the posts. This is closer to a gesture but could still use some work. For pictures 1 through 3, I did not use any of the tools learned in class.

This is drawn at my grandma's house from inside looking in the yard. It is the framework to hold the swing with two kids playing with the leaves in front of it. This drawing is a gesture because of the fluidity the line creates. I have captured where everything in the composition approximately is.

This is drawn from my bed looking at the food storage crates in my dorm room. Here I used gesture drawing to place everything and then used tools to transfer angles, find the approximate measurements by using comparative measuring, etc.

This is a gesture drawing of my roommate Susan. We were waiting for Taiji class to start so I drew her laying to the floor. I used basic shapes to capture her. I also used the tool to transfer angles to make sure her head and right foot were in the correct place. The same goes for her head and left foot, etc.
