I don’t get how the box men exercise is helpful…. If it’s not something that will lead to anatomically correct figures, why bother? To see how well you can make a figure out of boxes? A design exercise? I struggle with drawing the figure from imagination so it seems it would be more productive to practice something that would help me improve. Not see if I can design a figure out of boxes or triangles or broomsticks or whatever….

All this will do is lead me to spend a butt ton of time looking up reference.... I would like to just be able to open my sketchbook and draw. That's why my sketchbooks have one drawing per page and it's something I copied. Because I rarely have ideas and when I do, I don't know how to draw them.

The thing I learned the most about gesture drawing comes from looking at all the examples here in the comment section. And that is, everyone sucks at gesture drawing. It's not just me.....

Can I use acrylic as an alternative for gouache, because I don't have that?

Is a reference photo mandatory? Can I use my imagination?
