Author of Force drawing books. My focus is teaching how you can express yourself purely with line and gesture.

Good start on using FORCE. I suggest you stick to rhythms fist instead of going immediately tot he shapes.

What, no FORCE? This is our staple line so learn it and the power that lies in the line! Keep driving with that line.

Hey there! It's a bit hard to see the drawings. All I can say is that you should probably check out @Mike Mattesi 's works. He is amazing at gestural drawings :)

This is so helpful, hearing your thought process as you go! I've been agonizing over gesture drawing for months, reading and watching everything I could find - even enrolled in two different courses specifically on gesture trying to figure it all out, and doing a ton of hideous drawings. 🤦♀️
Are you developing a course for this platform?

Potentially.
