Time for some more mental breakdown in face of gesture drawing !
This time it is passing from a 30s to a 1min. When I was done with the 30s drawing I was left with 30s to improve the figure. But at that very point, I don't know what to do. I don't know where to look and what to add to improve the overall shape.
Yesterday's drawing were not good (didn't post them) and today I tried different ways to make the gesture drawing. I tried to improve the torso first but I felt like it didn't added anything. Then I tried to focus on the arms and legs, but 30s was not enough to do anything after the first draft of the first 30s.
So after a while I tried a different approach, I ditch my methodology of the usual 30s and focused more on the shape right at the beginning. more like the 2min I did weeks before.
1min was not enough at all, I spend too much time analyzing the reference and nothing gets done, so I took some time to go to the 2min, but I made every stroke count. I have manage to get the legs quite alright but the arms are still mystery to me. It might get better with time.
From there I don't really know where to go, I can do an ok result in 2min, a really sketchy but good enough in 30s (the glorified stickman) and the 1min are like a dead zone to me. I don't know how to improve the 30s without changing the method completely.
