Day 4

Today I tried something different, to capture 1min(-ish) poses with the fewest lines possible, trying to find those lines that travel almost through the whole pose. All models were male, as I their less curvaceous bodies are less readable from that perspective I guess. Also hands+feet bonus.

Day 3

Today I tried both a regular class and an inverted workflow (where 5m poses come first). I'd say I had better luck starting with those longer.

Today's sketches:

When it comes to the longer 10m poses I have more time to observe and look around for those nice flowing lines and actually capturing them in the drawing, but I kinda struggle when it comes to those 30s poses, looking back at those seems like I'm trying to build the shape of a body rather than looking for the actual flow of the pose itself, if it makes any sense. Perhaps I should start by doing more of the 10 min poses to get a better hang of those flow lines?

Edit:
5min sketches

I actually missed the two last sketches (the longer 5 and 10 min) because at that point the scanner refused to cooperate, I'll post them later.

Sure! I'll post tomorrow's sketches as well ¦]

Hi, I'm practicing gesture drawing to reinforce posing for an upcoming comic of mine (hopefuly not too far in the future). My goal for now is to do 2 practice sessions 30 mins each every day, I'll share some of what I did today:

Besides this I'm doing other kinds of practice, mostly doing dynamic forms and building something that resembles a mannequin with those. Any tips?
