I know what you mean, I feel like I'm way too uptight when I draw and no, I haven't heard about the gestures before but I'll check them out, cheers.
Thanks man, it feels nice that someone cared enough to write all that. I've been drawing fairly regularly for the past month or so and I can already see a difference but I can be fairly inconsistent, I drew that 2 weeks ago and haven't drawn anything nearly as good since. I try to draw as much as I can but sometimes find it hard to just sit down and concentrate.
