Post for my gestures of the day

I wasn't feeling it too much today. I don't know why but I'll bounce back tomorrow. Reference's used can be found in the free pack

DAY 2

I felt better today. I was able to flow better. More to come later in the day.
Gonna do some 10 minute gestures that focus on anatomy a little more.
I used Grafit Studio references for this.

I had never really done any gesture drawing before. I find I'm having trouble resisting the urge to add unnecessary details, which in turn leads me to feel like I haven't added enough detail :smirk:

Here's an example; I get that gesture drawing is about drawing the MOVEMENT (or the feeling of the movement) but I fear that I'm just producing poorly drawn stick figures:

This is not bad for one of your first. I still have this issue myself when doing gesture, but watching different methods makes me more accepting of the things I do. I recommend taking your time. Maybe 5+ minutes per pose just so you can focus on each line of the pose.
Secondly, try using a smaller brush.
Thirdly, watch some videos on different peoples process. I recommend: Michael Hampton, Proko or even Love life drawing.

Keep up the good work. Looking forward to seeing more.

nice work. You even had time to do some shading on a few. Were those done in 1 minute as well or more.
