gesture drawing - 2 and 5 min

2min and 5min drawings.

Still on the general shapes of the characters. I saw on the forum people able to draw faces or shadow in the same amount of time. Quite challenging!

Hey Lovethebic, first of all I love the upper right one. It's got volume and direction - except for the face, although I'm almost certain you didn't spend much time on it, it's better to make a cylinder or box because the flat face really takes away from the pose. I also think you have to work on your line precision, is this something you've been practicing? e.g Drawing two dots on a paper and then connecting them freehand in one stroke, drawing elipses and so forth.

I know it's tempting to compare yourself to what others complete during these timed poses - your journey is your own, I think I mentioned this earlier but speed comes with a better understanding of both the subject and the process so you can convey more information with less strokes - you do not draw faster by trying to draw faster if that makes any sense =) Cheers!

Hello again, LoveTheBic, and once more, greatest job on your forces over your forms of your figure drawings, but these seem a bit farthest too heavier-handed to me yet. How would you care to go ahead with 12 minutes of 28 second poses, using only our custom class mode?

The logic behind this thing is because, your lines will become even most intuitively emotional with each line you sketch. For most details, please look into the PDF of Walt Stanchfield Vol. 1 on Archive.

Our hat's off to you.
