Great stuff! I saw your new gesture book online yesterday. Gonna pick it up and continue the journey!

Thank you for this overview of the next steps in correctly constructing a whole figure. We often neglect the parts of our drawings that won't be seen by anyone, which can lead to a lot of frustration and sometimes even make us want to give up when we get to the level of light and shadow, where our drawing appears bumpy and deformed. I find your step-by-step explanations very helpful, and after years of struggling, I finally understood how to draw gestures. I will then resume the figure construction course, which I had already started but was unable to progress with because I lacked the fundamentals of gesture drawing. @Michael Hampton, will you also be teaching an anatomy course on Proko.com? That would be fantastic!

Really appreciated this lesson as someone who often needs to understand the end of a process in order to really feel comfortable with the beginning. Isolating gesture practice is obviously crucial, but for me at least, I can lose sight of the ball without some top-down sense of how each step should be compartmentalized, what I'm really trying to pass on to the next stage, and which thoughts/observations/peeves are irrelevant or premature. This+the construction course are really helping me intuit that better. Overall, really appreciate your analytical clarity. Thanks again, Michael!!
