Dear Community, let me introduce you to a wild species unique to Southern California. He rises tall and gazes on the horizon, foreshadowing the future of arts and education, eyeing for talent and goodwill. He is a highly cooperative creature, always ready to stand up for students in need. I mean, look at that ear shape, that cheekbone, that playful spark in the eyes, that noble posture... No doubt, it must be him — Meershall, the High Meerkat of Arts. Oh and hi, I'm Lex from Ukraine, and this is my first challenge submission Ever™. The illustration is quarter imperial, so slightly under A3 in size. I did lots of sketches, a preliminary drawing, and then the final piece. I love watercolor, Marshall loves watercolor, so it all made sense to me. I had a blast making it, so I hope Ethan and the community have fun viewing it, too!

Hi @Emma, these are some great gesture drawing studies. I really like how you've abstracted the shapes of the torsos/limbs so to create more flow in your drawings. The actual gestures are pretty solid overall, so the only critique that I can think of would be to still keep an eye out for your proportions/structure in your figures. Namely, the two images I attached below, you can see some instances where the structure of the actual figure started to slip a little bit. It's a lot to juggle, especially when doing quick gestures, but try to keep this in mind as you continue to do these exercises because it'll only serve to help you once you start getting into longer and more finished poses. Hope this helps! And feel free to let me know if you have any questions

Hey Kanaka! I'm new to gesture drawing too, but my suggestion would to be to commit to your lines. You seem to be going over your lines multiple times. I try to just pause and think before putting down a line, and *hopefully* I won't feel the need to keep touching it. Gosh it's hard though. You're off to a great start! I can't wait to see how you advance (:
