Tried using a new brush today! Quite like the results :)

So I've been lacking this past week.. Work got hectic and I haven't had as much as time to draw as I would like! Shit happens, I guess ha.

I did some 20min classes this week! Proud of that, but then again I drew a lot less aside from those.

Did some 60s before Fasdlk's critique!

Been mostly doing gestures traditionally... should probably upload those too.

And now trying to do as Fasdlk told me.. harder than it looks.

Wow! I'm very thankful for the long reply you decided to write. The video about legs and arms is definitely something I had already watched in the past, and actually used to do for sketching way back when I started drawing... but seems like I had forgotten about it/it never stuck.

I started doing gestures mainly for proportions as that was what was really bothering me about my art (constantly having to fix limbs, hand/feet size, head size, etc) so that's mostly what I've been focusing on.

Even though this critique was rushed as you say, I think it was very helpful! After seeing all the tips and advice you've given me, it's inspired me to try to focus on the flow first before the form!! so thank you! I will keep everything you said in mind when I do my daily gestures! :)

(I usually do these in the morning when I have my cup of coffee, but 18th was done after work.. and wow it shows my brain was tired)

I think you're doing well! Keep going ^^ Maybe try fleshing out limbs in 1min/2min gestures. You seem to be drawing quite small which could lead to you being stuck drawing small. I suggest using scrap paper if you're worried about using space in a sketchbook.

Sorry I can't provide a very good critique but encouragement is important too :")

Half the month has passed! I really hope I can keep this habit even after october ends :')

Today's gestures done trying Torrilin's tip of a bigger brush!

I'm actually not drawing that small! These are done digitally as well. I have a Huion GT-191 which has a 19.5 inch screen and use about half the screen for each figure. I use a different layer for each and then rescale all of them to fit on a page.

Thank you for all the tips! I'll try using a bigger brush and use a black copic for trad gestures.

Hello! Thank you for the long reply, I appreciate it. The October 6th ones weren't done using this site actually, I was watching a concert livestream and drew poses of the dancers! Feels good to know I captured things well :')

I think the idea of starting with the lower half is good.. but also very scary. I've always started with the head, so it'll definitely be a challenge. I have also been doing feet gestures and such (mostly 60s and 2m) and I'm hoping those can help as well.

Thank you so much for the message!! And I'm so glad I've inspired you. I wish you the best of luck in trying 30 seconds and may we conquer our gestober!!!

Yesterday and today's gestures!

For some reason today, oct 13, I started with 2m ones... at first I wanted to just do 2m but it's now I've realized WHY the class option starts with 30 seconds... definitely helps you warm up ^^'

I don't think I'm the most qualified to critique but I can definitely tell from your 30 and 60 seconds that you lack a lot of confidence in your lines. It's very normal, so don't worry about it. My suggestion is to focus on shapes a lot more and not be scared to make one long and single stroke instead of multiple short ones. The second one, the female arching her back and looking up, in your 60 second one is something you should aim to so for every gesture drawing!

So this october, I've decided to focus on doing more gesture drawings! Since a lot of people are doing inktober, I decided to do my take on it: gestober! I want to get better at the overall form of the body and anatomy. I especially have difficulties with proportions.

My original goal was to not miss a day... but then I missed the first.. and a few more. So far I've done 7/12. I have also been doing some stuff in my sketchbook, but don't have any pictures on hand.

I can def see some improvements since the first day.. but I'm finding that I'm quite slow and can barely ever manage to ever draw feet in 30s :(

Let me know what I should work on! Thanks!!

Note: I've only been drawing since early 2015 and have not really done any gesture drawing in my life...! Be gentle on me :')
