Gesture Drawing Tutorial [ Improve Your Figure Drawings ]

In today's tutorial I am sharing a lesson from my course, How to Improve Your Figure Drawing Step by Step. In this one we will focus on the Gesture and talk about ways to break the figure down.

Paying attention to the gesture of the body will help you to draw the figure more confidently and with more energy to the pose. Try to throw the lines and look past the details of the figure. When you do this properly your characters will feel more organic and alive.

I've been trying to get somewhere, ANYWHERE, with gesture drawing & have watched dozens of videos - this one FINALLY unlocked something. Thank you so much for sharing this, it's amazing & you are too for taking the time to teach this so well & patiently!

I think the fact you focused so much on the common pitfalls of newbies like me helped a lot! thank you

[Iggyshere]

Thank you for sharing the skills of the trade. Every now and then when I am doodling I can see the drawings show more spark than before. 😊

THank you so much for breaking it down for beginners! I've been trying to break things down using contour lines and ellipses/spheres, 3D objects, which is what other channels were saying. But the gesture drawing really provides a good framework! And it's simple to begin! I just need to practise a lot more. THanks!

This is exactly what I need. I spent some time studying bridgeman and when I moved to gestures it felt super blocky and stiff

I was worried that would this would just be a lessons from the how to improve your figure drawing class on skill share, but thankfully it was not

Thanks for this, I’m a huge fan of the channel and plan on using a mixture of this and iconic comic book artist David Finch’s YouTube Channels to improve my figure drawing and superhero/supervillain fan art skills so I can’t wait.

so far so good... sir i really wanna know how to change the gesture to figure and cover it with muscles

What should I be focusing on when I do an extended gesture drawing (like 10 mins) vs. a quick one of 1-2 mins. Does it stop being a gesture drawing the more I work on it?

[WinterTheArcher]

I still just....find this hard to do. Like, gesture drawing has escaped me the majority of my life, and I am still struggling to get somewhere. Maybe I just need to rewatch it, but heck this fundamental is causing me to reel.

gesture drawing helps improving with drawing anatomy?

[Tenebris]

There’s nothing wrong with that class I’ve just watched it
