Gesture Drawing Practice | 20 and 40 sec. poses

Draw with me and practice gesture drawing with 20 and 40 sec. poses. Gesture drawing is fundamental to creating expressive and dynamic poses. By doing quick gesture drawings, you'll learn how to draw what's most important in a pose-- the main angles, balance, motion, and flow-- without getting caught up in the details at first.

I have never enjoyed something like this before LOL the pressure of being timed 😂

Extremely helpful and can’t wait to do the 20 sec thing after school man

I've recently started gesture drawing and I'm so slow that even when I go fast, I dont finish the drawing. I'm still learning though and taking my art a lot more seriously than I did in the past, and this video actually helped a lot in making me realize what to focus on.

I'm trying to shorten the timer from 300 seconds, seeing it done in 20 was shocking but I cant wait to try the 20 / 40 timers!

Aaaah that was fun! Though my gesture drawings looked like enderman 🤣

It takes me like 3 hours to make a pose and this man does it in 20 seconds.

I have 10 min. school break and was wondering ‘man, I should do some gesture drawing’. Right on the dot, koizu.

Just getting into figure drawing and I feel like this has been the most helpful yet. Definitely worth a like and subscribe 👍

i've watched so many of these videos but for some reason this one felt more pressuring to the point that it made me draw my gestures differently. this was a really cool learning experience, i understand the flow of action just a little bit more i think. thank you

[ekowsart]

Definitely gonna give this a try, very helpfully

Return of the king. It’s so great that you’re back man.

I loved it! It was so amazing! When I draw, I tend to overthink and therefore my drawings aren't so loose or natural. This challange helped me so much, I didn't have time to think, I just drew by instinct and I'm quite pleased with the results! Thank you so much! :)))

this is just some note for my myself .
When doing gesture drawing.The story is added to the paper meaning you dont just copy what the figures doing but essentially translating the story of the pose.This is why gesture drawing is complex more than any fundamental because it need the knowlegde as for story teller.Luckily for artist, The gesture drawing have simpilified by many methodlogy that we can use.Note that it isnt a technic, a stylitic drawing but rather its a component and fundamental to draw the human figure.There are no technic when doing gesture it just depends on you how you want to translate the obejct of you're looking, Not just the human figures(trees, Cloud, or even your everyday object has gesture on it).Its one of the perfect way to communicate.when you're doing this type of gesture try to capture the flow of rhytms of the object rather than capturing the big picture.Its not easy because we tend to go for details.Details will make us feel ease but its not enough to communicate our mind to the paper(story).

This was so fun and one of the few practices I could actually feel myself learning as I went. I started breaking people down into lines or action and focusing on the more important aspects first. I will definitely be using this for my warmups!

This idea is insanely helpful! Also it gives us an idea of the type of references to use while trying to study anatomy and poses. Great content, love it.

This video is sooo amazing. I love that we can draw along and practice together with you just by watching the video. Please do more like these!

[emperorakatsuki]

THIS is exactly what I have been waiting for, love the video idea 😁

[kotaamitsukami]

Koizu you're awesome man. I've been in this tutorial for less than a minute and your advice is to the point helpful

[juliaarosa]

this was so much fun!!! please do more videos like this, I really enjoyed it ♡

[HusamEzzi]

This looks inspiring and interesting to try.

[zeepersy]
