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

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. 😊

You’re welcome and thank you for supporting the channel!

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!

Thank you allot i m a begginer artist and i really hope to improve! This was big help! Soo thank you again

Thank you so much! I'm trying to learn to draw humans as I've been more focused on objects and this video really simplified how to draw gestures

Thank you I was just looking for a gesture video!

Really great tutorial. Thanks Robert! Fantastic tutorials.Thank you for sharing your experience and insights!

Thank you so much for sharing so much knowledge and experience. Ive struggled so many times with gesture and for now i have better idea 💡

excelent class !

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

Really great advice man thank u brother

goated tutorial 💯💯💯

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 KZread Channels to improve my figure drawing and superhero/supervillain fan art skills so I can’t wait.

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

Gracias

Ty

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

Another great lesson, that's quite simplified the way you do it. Love these lessons, lol at age 61 I still learning new tricks, and your lessons are helping so much-needed. 🇺🇸 God Bless America 🇺🇸

You sound like a good teacher

Thank you 🙏🏾

I’m the same way. If I see a valuable pose I stop what I’m doing and sketch it. Great habit to cultivate! Thanks for watching!

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.

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?

Think of gesture drawings for artists as "practice swings" are to golfers or baseball players. Practice swings help athletes feel the trajectory and the weight of the bat/club, and really internalize the tactile feel for the swing they want to make before they actually do the swing for real. It's as much a mental exercise as a physical one. Same goes for gesture drawings. It's meant to give you a rough *feel* for the pose and help you stay loose, keep the pose feeling organic and natural as you build upon it with structure. Drawings without considering gesture first tend to end up looking "stiff" when it's finished. In my opinion, 10 minutes is way too long for the gesture stage (for one pose), you might as well just start the actual drawing by then! 😁 Robert meant spend 10 minutes drawing lots of poses as practice to warm up your hand and eye coordination, and get a feel for it. There are some great sites out there specifically for this that present a timed photo for you to practice drawing. (e.g: line-of-action.com) By keeping the time limit short for gestures to roughly 1-2 minutes max, you only give yourself enough time to react to the energy you see in the pose, and try to capture it on paper (or digital). You're focusing more on rough placement of elements, connections, curves and angles, and not really focusing on accuracy just yet, that will come as you refine and build.

When I do 10 minutes its basically just adding extra detail like muscle definition, shading, detail etc.

​@@chris0513thanks chris very intuitive. 🇺🇸

gesture drawing helps improving with drawing anatomy?

I struggle bad with neck.

Im doing it on this muscular lady and she has alot of curves. Too many major curves. Do I ignore some the curves? When I do it. It looks ugly. Still captures the the gesture but just doesn't look good.

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