Took me about 2-3 weeks but found a way of doing gesture drawing that works for how I think. If you struggle with gesture drawing I highly recommend looking up Michael Hampton Gesture Lecture on youtube.
Good practice! The joints of the upper leg should start on the same "side" of the pelvis box. Look at the skeleton you drew. Same thing for the joints of the arms attached to your ribcage box Hope this helps?
A few Torso/Head construction studies. Not sure if I like using a full box for the pelvis, might look at some other forms closer to that of the pelvis bone.
Todays gesture drawing and felt the difference when you devote 1 hour to do warm ups before hand. The blueprint bit is my way of thinking about gesture drawing in the grand scheme of things. How they should clearly portray the idea/movement of a pose and be able to lead into the construction phase.
