Very nice figure work, but I especially like what you did with the hair.

It looks like you started getting into the flow of gesture when you got to the three drawings on the right. But I'm not sure the ones on the left were even meant to be gesture drawings.

The coming months I want to focus on figure drawing and anatomy. Here are some of my attempts of the last few days. 30 sec poses I have the most trouble with. It's hard to not just draw a stick figure but to try to get the essential movement and flow. Please feel free to critique my sketches. What do you think of them overall? How and what can I improve? I do spot a few flaws but maybe there's a lot I don't see yet. Thank you. :-)

I think those 30-second gesture drawings on the 29th are your strongest. We'll eventually get more comfortable with gesture if we keep plugging away at it.

I did two sets of 30-second gesture and one set of 2-minute ones. Today I felt even worse at making the most of the time and finding the overall gesture in a lot of the poses.

Today I kept running out of time in these 30 second gesture drawings. At least changing the lamp in my drawing light helped the photo a little.

501st? These must be stormtroopers in training, then. Nice job showing the planes on the figures. I'm getting Bridgman vibes.

Tried a more complete comp for my imagination piece this time. And some 2 minute studies.

That's a great use of shapes in the composition. Nicely done.

This is very nice. And for a 15-minute study, impressive. If this is digital, are you working with a predetermined range of values or just eyeballing it as you go?

While I still found the 30 second limit a little challenging, I felt a little more comfortable quickly finding what to emphasize in some of these. I really need to work out a better art photography setup.

I think I understand something.

Hi chinanoahli. There are a couple of really nice gesture drawings in here that let go of the surface details and communicate the flow of the pose. They are in the drawings of the double figure pose. The light, loose sketches that indicate the "other" figure are, I think, what we are aiming for in our gesture drawings. I'm looking forward to the next ones.
