in my previous critique i had a suggestion to try tapered lines… i managed to squeeze some practice in after watching proko’s video on it and i really like how they turned out!! 

not sure how ‘tapered’ all my lines are, but it definitely made me start thinking before placing, which was very cool.


thank you @ajirh for the feedback!

i never thought about this, and now im wondering how ive been doing my strokes this whole time… the next time i draw i will think about this, thanks ajirh!!

im really inspired by your line confidence!!!

im genuinely curious, is there any part of the body you start with when you do your gestures? i usually have a lot of construction lines which i think look super noticeable on my works, but i noticed your gesture bodies don't have too many. how do you orient yourself?

hi etienne!

i really like the defined curves in your sketches here, i think the bottom right is my favorite one :) something about how you draw curves in that sketch really makes the torso feel real and fluid!!

it appears you are using the coil method to figure out foreshortening, which i think is a good approach! if you dont feel super confident in that may i also suggest using boxes? 

for me personally i found cubes to be more 'objective' when it comes to perspective since circular objects can be a bit more free form. it helped me personally, so maybe that can help you on your perspective journey!

ive been thinking about some old critiques i recieved and i think im gonna try to ween off thinking so anatomically about my studies and try to be more 'flowy', which is something i am not used to since for gestures because i had rigid thinking of being 'accurate' to the picture 1:1...

the later drawings in the imgur i did today, and i feel better about them but i want to get a second pair of eyes to make sure im not deluding myself

thanks for checking out my post!

Hi all, I did these practices yesterday and I wanted to post them to see if people see anything I don't! I'm pretty happy with these generally speaking, but I know there's always room for improvement!

Thanks,
Lumi

Hello everyone, I just followed the tutorial for gesture drawing and i'm looking for some feedback! For context I have drawn for a good 9 years but I'm pretty out of practice since I haven't drawn a lot this past year. I feel confident in my gestures, but I still feel like I'm not at the drawing skill I want to be. I'm unsure as to what I need to focus on at the moment. Any and all feedback is welcome!
