4/1/2023 Okay. There’s 2 major problems I have when doing quick-sketch gesture sessions. I struggle with drawing foreshortened arms and hands pointing towards the screen. (Think of it as “breaking the forth wall”). Another problem is I can’t make asymmetrical shapes out of the contours, like with this example: https://static.proko.com/images/chris64/chris64-99e686df-a94b-426c-a578-6d34b93ce5fb.jpeg Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Hi crimson! To get to drawing foreshortening poses requires some perspective, overlapping and cross contouring with the figure. Right now I wouldn’t focus on perspective and try to take things a step at a time before you get there! Try to practice the simple poses first. From your figures you provided here I can tell you are drawing with your wrist and not your shoulder and which causes your poses to look stiff. This could also be due to the material you might be using to draw. If you can I recommend getting a newsprint pad with conte! However if you choose not to and want to continue with a sketchbook look into other materials you can use to draw figure to have more gesture in your lines. asymmetry is everywhere around the body and not just a blobs. If we didn’t have asymmetry, our bodies wouldn’t be able to function right and move awkwardly! think of the body of straight vs curves, and simplify it based on that. (Straight is bone and curve is muscle) Like proko said in the first video don’t focus too much on the details and just simplify. From there it’s all practice and observational drawing.

This is amazing Marco! What materials did you use for this? Is this conte on newsprint paper?
