Im very thankful for this. I was always confused because each people here in youtube have their own and different ways of gestures drawing and then they say you shouldn't do this whilst the other advices you to that. You just washed away a confusion to me. Again, thank you. Your channel is very underrated.

This is one of the better quick gesture demos I've seen.

Straight to the point, very quick but concise. Thank you so much! This really helped me understand what gesture truly is!

I think I've ever posted a comment on youtube, even more on drawing videos. But your video is really helping me to understand more how to work gesture. Many people on youtube have their own way to draw gesture but I don't remember seeing them explain like you did why and how. Thanks for this video, and if you see this comment and have anything that could help me break this process down into more little processes that would be lovely, thanks again Carolin.

This is probably one of the best videos on gesture that I have seen. A lot of other videos are somewhat vague on why we should use gesture and show only one form of doing it. This goes a little more in-depth and shows multiple ways of gesture and how they help drawing a figure.

I generally broke into simple shapes like in 2 style of your, but no other youtuber does that so I thought I was doing it wrong. This really helped me and cleared my confusion. Thank you!

This is the best gesture drawing video I've seen, it's very helpful because improving as an artist imo is realizing what you need to improve and focusing in on that for a time

[ramosmiguel]

Thank you so much. Very useful indeed.

[ilovelegos]

This was so easy for me to understand. All the other videos in youtube based on gesture drawings had me puzzled

[thewatcher]

Thank you for the helpful video. I need to loosen up my figures. I tend to be stiff, I am self taught. My figures tend to be stiff but I'm slowly getting into the mindset of loose strokes. I must also not strangle my pencil and lighten up. I find when I start with simple lines and not overwork it in the early stages it helps.

[infamousdee]
