You're doing pretty good so far. I like your gesture drawings.
Thank you! I'm happy to be seeing some progress in my gesture drawing and I hope to get so much better in the future.
Moving on to 2 minute gesture drawings.

How do you make your gestures so clean?

Got back on track. Here are some one minute gestures. I am trying a new approach for gestures. Did some cylinders since I was rusty too. Added some doodle faces cuz I got a bit distracted.
Sorry for the late reply. Before starting the gesture drawing, I would take some time to analyze the gesture pose so that when I start drawing I sorta have an idea.
Gestures and cylinder practice
Great work on your gestures and cylinders, the ellipses are looking good. Another thing you can try is to add some foreshortening to the cylinders, making the farther ellipse slightly smaller and placing the contour line slightly further away (farther section looks smaller than the closer section. For getting a more exact idea where and how that would look you can use a cube in perspective to guide you first, but after a couple it shouldn’t be too hard for you to make them freehand
Cheers!
Good gesture and shape drawings. And thanks for the information.
Thank you! Definitely gonna try doing more foreshortening to the cylinders.
Some gestures and cylinders practice. I am trying to add foreshortening to the cylinders. It is very challenging getting my mind used to picturing it and applying it though. Also played around in drawing cylinders in a certain direction.
Did some character studies from artist Gautier Alfirevic. Really loved their poses and thought I could learn more if I studied them.
