Hi everyone,
I'm Vamparino and I bought the course so that I can get back into drawing (unfortunately, for professional reasons, I couldn't really work on my artistic development for almost two years). After all this time I unfortunately had to find out that my basics skills are pretty "rusty"
I started with the term1 of the gesture drawing this week.
I prefer to work with Clip studio paint but I hope that I can follow Marc's tutorials well and internalize it for myself.
hopefully I can get valuable tips and criticism from the community here :blush:

The following pictures are the result of the first 3 days of my practical gesture drawing exercises :sparkles:

One of the best gesture studies that I've ever seen, I think that I have to learn a lot from you hahah lines are so fluid and, I don't know everything is great hahaha I like so much for example the 31/7 session, I think that I should try 45 seconds too ahaha

Any advice to give to us? Thanks in advance :relaxed:

Thank you so much !Your kind words honors me :relaxed:
But there are people here they are much better at gesture drawing than I.
You want some advice from me oh ... okay I'm not a good teacher but ...

However I can still try to explain to you how I go about it.
The first thing I do is as Marc explained in his video that you should first draw a line for the movement of the body.
Then I look in which direction the individual parts of the body move and try to reproduce the movement of the regions in a simplified way or even to exaggerate them. when a movement is heavily bent or stretched, i try to overdo it and give it "expressiveness".
Because for me it represents the meaningfulness of the pose and thus expresses "living" for me :sweat_smile:
So I'm not trying to reproduce the actual pose and anatomy 100%, but the movement (I don't know if it's that smart but yeah :joy: )

I did an example to explain it better.. unfortunately my english is not the best ... sorry
I hope the explanation and the picture can help you a little.

Don't worry your English is perfect :joy: really, really thanks for your explanation, I will try to do it this week with your example near to get the perfect gesture, thank you :heart_eyes:
And I totally agree that the expressiveness is totally way better than the natural accuracy, in fact it's gesture and not figure drawing :grin:

Hi dear creative people out there!
I have a question about Marc's weekly steams. Do you have to register somewhere with him to get tips and criticism from him or does he choose people from the forum himself?
First of all a big thank you to everyone who answers me and still a good success with your projects.
