I have a question about gesture drawing I've been considering doing really loose gesture poses from my imagination on the side with a focus on being as expressive as I can on the side while still studding and using ref does that sound like a good idea or would I be wasting me time?
@Jesper Axelsson Hi I've finished my mannequins and I feel they look pretty good any feed back is welcome my main question is do the mannequins feel 3d and did I stiffen any of the poses?

Hey these look pretty good if I had to critic Your work I would say you should make the lines that wrap around the form of the body differ in how curved there are for example if its closer to the viewer it will be flater if uts further away it will be more curved
You also didn't draw the forms that represents the shoulder muscle on the goat dispite what the photo suggests the limbs are actually on the side of the body I'd recommend looking that the anatomy of the animals without fur/feathers etc to better see these forms

Should I study the loomis mannequin
I'm currently going through the figure drawing course and I'm on mannequins and they just don't turn out well for me I've gone through the figure drawing coruse many times to improve my skills so I don't think it's a lack of experience or knowledge I think the mannequin just doesn't suit me
I saw the loomis mannequin on Art Wod and heard it was good for beginners who are starting mannequins should I try it?

@Jesper Axelsson I've finished my landmark drawings I feel like I have some trouble with the landmarks of the pelvis in front poses and I feel like I draw the scapula a too low.
I'd also like to know when drawing more developed drawings should I also draw the landmarks or should I just visualise and observe them to find the angles?
And am I ready to move on?

This is my own practice of the bean. Feedback is appreciated.

Hey I have to say these beans look quite solid and clean. I would suggest you push the bean a bit more to really capture the moment example make the tilt go further.
Another thing I'd add is a bit more of an overlap for example with you bean on the bottom right corner of the first page I feel if you added a fold to show how compressed the bean is it's really help with the pose.

@Jesper Axelsson Hey I've been drawing beans the twist and while I understand how it's an S curve I just don't understand how do the overlaps work sometimes I'll draw both sides having some form of overlap and only 1 side will other times I'm so sure can see an overlap yet when I see it drawn there's no overlaps is there is there some way to notice what kind of overlaps are happening?

These look really solid in terms of advice I'd high suggest you check out the channel Love life drawings video on angles and flow as well as Michael Mattesi his gestures aren't the same as Proko but his videos helped me see the flow and rhythm in poses

@Jesper Axelsson Hi I've got some new gestures and I just wanna ask how are these gestures I wanna know if my gesture angles and balance are good
( Also some of them are sideways for some reason so if a pose looks weird try turning the screen around)

Hello! I am trying to get a hang of these gesture drawings. I feel that sometimes I run out of time so I did them for 60 seconds each. How are these looking?
2yr
Hello I would say you're focusing too much on contor view the legs for example as an S curve
I would also suggest you check out Michael Mattesi on YouTube his style of gestures is different from proko but his videos really helped me see flow and rhythm overall you're doing great keep it up
(Some of the photos are sideway if a pose looks weird try flipping it)
I've tried out the 30 second poses I've also done these in ink so hopefully it'll be easier to see any criticism is welcome any suggestions on how to improve the flow or mistakes I've made in the gestures is welcom

Hello guys just started with gesture drawing and anatomy by understanding how the pose works. I always copied from photo so Im finding difficult to break down movement. Could I ask for some critique please? This were done in 30 secs each
2yr
Hey these aren't bad for a first try I would highly suggest you check out Michael Mattesi videos on force gesture drawing there done In a different style then proko but they really helped me see the rhythm and flow of poses
I would also suggest since you're new to gesture drawing to try longer times to draw gestures like 1 to 5 minutes for now and once you get more used to that you can go back and try the 30 second videos
In terms of a critic I could give you the lines are too straight try using C and S curves for the body
Gesture drawing is hard but keep at it and you'll improve keep at it

Hi I've got some new gesture drawings if there anything wrong please let me know so I can get better
Also how can I get better at controlling my lines one of my biggest issues with my gestures is sometimes when drawing S curves for legs or arm they go in directions I don't want them to go to am I drawing too fast or is it something else?
