Hey poly, thanks for the feedback! Genuinely means a lot how much valuable advice you give. Definitely need to fix my gestures up a bit and stop with hairy straggly lines. I'll watch the video when I get around to it and post a follow up after more practice.
Hey everyone, this is just a quick before bed gesture session. I took a several month hiatus from art because I needed to figure some stuff out. These are my first gesture drawings in months. Honestly was a bit impressed, but can't be content. Gotta keep practicing. Gestures
The feedback you guys have given me is invaluable. I will have to take a step back and focus more on fundamentals and the basics of figure drawing. As much as I want to go into anatomy, I first have to hone in on figure drawing as much as possible and capture the humanity of the poses that I am drawing. Cheers!
Guys I need some quick critiques about my figures! What can I do to better to capture the models pose and make the gestures feel more alive? I especially struggle with 30 second poses, and how to capture the uniqueness of the model in such a short period without the gesture looking stiff. Thx!
Hi Aunt, thought I'd drop a video which explains why figures can seem stiff, and also how you can display movement better.
Really hope this helps because movement is generally the main focus of figure drawing unless you are specifically studying anatomy. The terms that you say are cringy and confusing are just adjectives that apply to movement in general. Muscles and body parts can stiffen up or loosen in reality. Words can also have multiple meanings, so I am confused about your confusion that the word dynamic can be applied to something other than photography. Forget photography unless it directly applies to whatever you're doing. Just stop thinking so hard about it and have some fun!
