    Many artists have asked me how I reached my current skill level in gesture drawing. The motivation to go on a journey to master this subject came because of the frustration of doing hours and hours of gesture drawing and still struggle when I had to come up with believable poses for my characters. How could this be? What was I doing wrong?

    ​In this eBook I describe the struggles I went through during this journey and how I overcame them. I hope that my story will inspire those of you who are struggling to learn gesture drawing and help you to endure the learning process, because there is a great reward waiting for you at the end!

    nice to see your new drawings, those warriors and sumo wrestlers look very expressive even drawn in just a few lines! How would you recommend to solve the clothes problem? They usually mess up the shape of the body, at least when I’m at it.

    Thank you marymary :). For the clothes, keep in mind that you don't need to copy what you see. You should make sure that your drawings read properly. So use the clothing to help communicate the action and make changes where necessary.

    To really pull this off effectively, you need to understand how to create appealing shapes and apply this to the clothing also.
