Personal recommendation is to use the gesture drawing app by Daniel Vanches or personally timing your gesture drawings manually.

Link to a weekly hangout spot where you can post, chat and give feedback to others doing the gesture drawing challenge as well. - HANGOUT SPOT -

Plan Ideas
1. Ten 1 min gesture drawings.

  1. 30 mins sessions of Five 1 minute gesture drawings. Five 2 minute gesture drawings. Finally Three 5 minute gesture drawings

  2. Thirty 2 minute gesture drawings(60 mins total)

  3. 1 hour session. Ten 1 minute gesture drawings. Ten 2 minute gesture drawings. Four 5 minute gesture drawings Finally Two 10 minute gesture drawing.

You can modify any of these plans to suit your daily schedule, but, try to do at least 10 gesture drawings everyday.

This challenge definitely caused me more trouble than I was expecting. After I took Malcom's advice and slowed down (and just generally loosened up a bit), my results did get a lot better, but I feel like there is still much room for improvement. Or, maybe I'm just being too hard on myself; what do you all think?:

A bit late to share this, but here are my favorites and some of my least favorites. The latter was much harder to chose from as there were so many I didn't like :laughing:
