This is a good exercise. 30 seconds is barely enough time to sketch the pose but this is exactly the goal I am striving for use in animation production.

30 second poses from the examples here, and also some from other reference. I always run out of time and lack a limb lol. Critique is welcome.

here are my 30 second gestures. I have been practicing for a few days trying to get back into drawing this quickly. I wasn’t as used to it anymore so this practice was really good for me. any feedback is appreciated

starting off slow because I'm trying to get back into the habit of gestures and wow these kinda hurt >< especially on a digital medium. I'll post again around the end of the week for the 30 second gestures to see what the results are and any feed back I get is appreciated!

Hello! I'm sharing with you the 30-second gesture pose exercise. I'm not happy with the results, but maybe you can help me understand if the drawings are good and what they need to get better. I tried to stick with capturing motion, but sometimes I was concentrating too much on each single element of the figure.

Any feedback would be much appreciated! :) Some were closer to 2 mins, some were about 1 minute. I tried to do 30s but I wasn't fast enough and 1min is all I could do. If I took too long, like 2 mins, I sometimes tried again and make it more simplified and was able to bring it down to 1min.

Going to be posting everyday, please any feedback will be appreciated. These are mainly 30 secs. since I am trying to look past the contours, which has been difficult thus far, but I want to get better.

These look great! Since you asked for help I’d suggest proko’s video on line quality/confidence. But when I look at your gestures I can recognize which image they are from, so good job!

Just wondering, is there a download link for the reference images? Or do we just have to take a screenshot of the video?

There are some references that can be downloaded. I just pause the video and draw. If you are just looking for references there are some free sites too https://community2.lovelifedrawing.com/c/reference-library/

I just started practicing gesture. I found out that 2 min poses are easier to draw as I have more time and I can draw more parts. However, I find it so hard to draw the 30 seconds pose because first I only have so little time and second I don't know which part should I draw with more detail. I hope you guys could give me some feedback haha

There isn’t supposed to be detail in the 30 sec pose that’s the point of the time limit. It’s supposed to be just capturing the “feel” of the pose. Hope that helps in some way or another lol.

These are great! I think you're drawings would be even better if you focus on less lines, and really trying to show the flow of the pose. Proko has a great video on line quality and confidence, great job though!

I feel like I'm gonna cry because no matter how much I draw them my gestures don't seem to improve at all. I can't get anything close to what others are able to do unless I'm trying to copy their drawings specifically. I don't understand how to visualize people in my head maybe? I'm embarrassed to even write this comment, but I so badly want to improve.

First of all - we have all been there or are there with you! So no worries and for sure don't feel embarrassed. Those quick poses are not easy! I'd say that 30-second ones are the hardest. I am struggling with them as well, but I can tell you what helped me a bit, maybe it will help you too - I am focusing on two things only - an angle between the pelvis and the torso and the angle between the torso and the head. Hands and legs are way less important (I recommend Love Life drawing video about this you can find it on YouTube) - After a finished session of quick catches ( around 20 minutes) I go through them slowly and try to analyse them, but not focusing on what is wrong but on what I could do differently to make it look better. Then I try to test this idea, and just redraw the thing or if I am feeling last (almost always) draw on top of the drawing. If it looks better - awesome. I note down what I learned. If I have no idea how to fix my drawing - I try not to get upset - some poses are just hard and I am on the beginning on a journey, some day I will get there. - A bit of cheating, but I am not doing 30 sec. at all i do 1 minute - cause its more beginner-friendly while still requiring you to work fast and not overthink
