Overview of different gesture methods

Hi @Proko
Thanks for the videos on Gesture (your own Gesture method, bean method, Michael Hampton's 8 parts of the body method). There are so many gesture methods that you can lose track. So my suggestion would be an overview of the different gesture methods and which industry or genre uses which method. To my knowledge, the animation industry tends to use fluid gesture drawings. Michael Hamptons or Prokos Method is more for fine art, I would guess.
Thanks a lot.

Thank you for the suggestion, that's a great idea for a lesson!
Regarding the industries, I'm not sure it matters. My gesture quicksketch is a combination of Watts, Gist, Reilly, Vilppu, and Loomis!
Vilppu taught primarily for animation. Reilly and Loomis were primarily for illustration. But there's no reason they can't be used for fine art, comics, or concept design.

Thanks Stan. I like your YouTube channel and the Figure Drawing class I took on your homepage. The tools are very helpful.
From my point of view there should be several types of Gesture Drawing.
From the inside out: Michael Hampton, Glenn Vilppu, The Drawing Database (You Tube Channel).
The movement of the body in general or in particular (Proko, Bean Method, Force Method by Mike Mattesi).
Action line over the whole body (design lines as C, S).
Action Line for the 8 parts of the body (Michael Hampton, Karl Gnass)
This is roughly how I would classify the methods. This would possibly be a video or online course topic :-)
But you are right: you can use any method as a starting base for figurative drawing :-)
I find the topic exciting, because I am more interested in the gestural drawing area, than a hyperrealistic drawing (see for example loish or joshblack)
Thanks for your answer :-)

Hi @George Rabbitearl, this is interesting! I'll forward it to the team.
I think Stan might have done what you're looking for in this video Q&A – Gesture vs Contour and Scribbly Lines (from 4:24)
Cheers!
Hi @Jesper Axelsson
irhanks.I lnow this video,because I see in the figure drawing course.But this Q&A covers @prolo type of gesture. Michael Hanpton or Glen Villpu did it more from the insidious.hope I I formulated it correctly
