Figure Drawing - Gesture

[diaspiano]

I did the challenge where you go to a place with a lot of people and try to draw them with gesture drawings. As they were moving all the time it was really hard, but in one hour I filled up 4 pages of my sketchbook, by the end I could see the improvement right away in certain pieces of the body, how your brain keeps getting these hints and incorporating in the figures, its a great exercise, tks for the tip!

I hate being a perfectionist! I spent over 30 mins with just one pose gah! Glad I came to this video to know I didn't have to do it exactly perfect. I will see how the next one goes. Thanks for the video!

I've tried drawing every pose with each pose under 30 seconds. Bruh, they look like they have came out from hell

I've been doing gesture drawings for years and still need to be reminded every now and then that they're not supposed to be perfect and details can wait.

Thank you for this. This is the first gesture drawing video I've seen that actually helps people like myself who don't know the basics of how to get started and then to expand on it.

By far, this was one of the best demonstrations on gesture drawing I have seen. Thanks for this!

"its not about the detail"

thanks man..I always wondered how to go about it once line of action is established... thanks this was simplest of all i have seen till now

[darylgholson]

Awesome explanation and process for gestures drawing. Starting with the straight line helps my proportions and capturing the pose quickly. Thank you.

Quite enjoyable intro to using gesture drawing with figures. I've been picking up on several of these videos. Seems I heard about it before but just now, with videos like this, 'getting it'.

[konamax]

Great video. Thank you for taking the time to really explain things. That was helpful.

Thanks so much for these sharings. they are really graceful. Could you do more like these, please? this is so helpful for the beginners !

Seems pretty interesting, I've been doing gesture drawings with simple ovals and lines will try this way too. Thanks for the video :)

I remember when I first watched this tutorial. Very inspirational.

Day 4 of learning how to draw till I start to create my own manga.

I plan on doing anatomy for the rest of the week and will most likely move onto shading right after. I have always had a problem with gesture drawings in the past because I felt they where not good enough but I will overcome it this time and I will keep moving forward.

For those who don't know me I will be leaving comments around youtube about drawing journey.

I have a question. What is a good way to map out a pose in which a figure is jumping at you? Kind of like a super hero flying pose with an aerial shot.

Matt,
Your classes are just great!...very good encouraging new artists and with a healthy dosis of theory.

Thank a lot!
