I have read About the balance and i think that a line in the center of the gesture line helped me to define a direction of flow however to sketchs

Drew more of these with my ongoing daily practice ! Feeling that the shape/negative space analysis as well as the energy flow start to flow into my drawing little by little.

I like this method - makes sense - however I can see I add too many lines - something I need to control when drawing-sketching.

Here are two poses I worked on for my first day of 30 min soul sketching. Looking forward to seeing how I improve!

Had lots of fun and feeling I got a better understanding about the energy flow globaly. Will add this to my daily training for the comming monthes :))

Is there a guide on how the x should be placed on the ground? I keep placing it wrong so the gesture looks like it's floating in space

My sketches🐟

Hello ! I think I understood something. I went from hard beginnings but it’s like a block dissolved at some point. Now I try to exaggerate the poses ! The sentence of Bruce Lee helps « be water my friend » !

A couple I did today, feedback appreciated!

Gave it a go - I can't quite intuit where to put the energy lines, they are not quite lines of force for compression working up from the ground, eventually I bounced them between straight and curved lines.

Today's session. I'm finding this very helpful to find de pressure points of a gesture drawing.

All my drawings

Here are my first attempts. I am doing this all on paper, so it is quite hard for me, to see all the bumps, but I think the overall gesture is OK. The envelope helps, but my big problem is, that I tend to draw the legs too short. Is there any way to get rid of that, or do I just continue with the gesture drawings until this issue evaporates on its own?

Hi! I just started your course and I really love it! But I have one question: for the energy flow within the body, you say often „I feel“ - but are there any rules or anatomic reasons for this? thanks a lot for your response!!

Tried a few, this was very tough! I keep using too many lines, and I'm not sure if I'm finding the energy of the pose or its outline.

Tried to capture the gesture and the soul of the figures. Just starting out this course and it's really amazing. Would love to get some feedback.

I need to be better about looking at the overall shape.

i always have issues with proportions so this is a great way to contain my gestures study

Working on these. Not very good but I can improve! This is a cool exercise, because it seems like common sense, but when you force your brain to really ask the question "where is the energy going?" it makes you think and pay more attention for sure.

Oooh. This helped me understand what people mean by rhythm tremendously. Unlocked another brain cell. Thank you.
