thanks so much! proko's videos and demos on gesture were what got me started and they really helped me get an understanding for it. i'm also really inspired by artists like filipe andrade, claire wendling, sophie li (https://www.instagram.com/mmcoconut/?hl=en), and this guy https://www.instagram.com/kaladenn/?hl=en as of late. their figures are so elegant and expressive, and i try my very best to emulate what they do.

i've started consistently practicing gesture from early august. usually fill up a page or two with 1 min gestures and the ones in colored pencil usually take around 5 min or more, depending on how much i like them lol. but i pretty much only draw people and animals so i get a lot of practice. couple hours a day at least. i dont really have a method, i just try to think about form and making my shapes look nice

The first 7 are very recent; the rest of the album is in chronological order. Thanks for looking!

if you mean the cross on the head, then yeah i use them in most of my gestures. helps me establish the orientation, which i think is important in the pose

no need, thanks for the comment!

Still trying to get comfortable with rhythm over contour as well as S lines.

I wasn't sure what to do with the 5 minute and 10 minute sessions; I found myself finishing a couple minutes early. What else should I focus on during the longer sessions? All I do is take more time to consider where I put my lines. I've also noticed that my proportions are off.

tried to focus on motion/rhythm a lot more and break away from contour. i'd like to know if i'm on the right track.

the ones in blue are 1 min gestures (i think some might be 2min). the ones in ink are 5 minute gestures.
