Description
More gesture drawings!"When god created the world, he created three basic shapes: Cylinder, Box, and Sphere." -Sheldon (not directly qtd XD)
Use it!!
I think I'm improving. But I haven't been drawing much lately! Must get back into it or I'll fall behind ^^ The more curvier model does some really nice poses~! Every model has a distinct shape. Since I've seen them so often, I recognize them in my drawing.

How long does it take to get good at this? Feels like it's taking me forever.

So did you outline them there to post here or was that part of the 5 minutes?

Wow. Utterly amazing. I'm taking life drawing this semester and I thought I was pretty hot shit artistically until this class. Man, these ROCK. I have not grasped gesture drawing. I pretty much taught myself to draw on top of natural talent, but I didn't get the education on techniques in grade and high school. For example, how to draw the figure "from the inside out"- you map out the figures beautifully! I am truley moved and inspired. thank you for your talent

That model is amazing...we have one that's fairly alright, but the teacher is to stiff and has no concept of variety...and the other models just plain suck.

I see there are gestures under these. Is there a way I could look at some of your quicker gestures.
π: 0 β©: 1
Hmm...if you mean the lay-ins..I haven't really left a quick one alone without developing it 
π: 0 β©: 1
lol. I can understand the urge. I was just curious though. I have the hardest time starting off my gestures for some reason. I would like to finish up an entire pose within a few seconds and just develop it for the rest of the drawing, but I can't seem to pull it off.

Oh I see what you mean
I really pulled back from developing my art from the start (like getting to the eye detail already) until I get the whole lay of the drawing out. really helps to change poses if its not good enough.

Thank you, if you do and for your... was that advice? o.o
I'll be sure to try that out next time. I have to much of a sketchy gesture and there some I never really get to finishing the pose.

ah I definitely have to try drawing some of those...thanks for sharing~<3

They look great
All the proportions are good and the poses look very natural.
Nice work.

I know what you mean. Curvier models have such interesting shapes, and I'm glad most of the male models don't have a problem with feminine poses either. Some of the ones we had were really be really manly in their poses, and it ended up being stiff, boring, and if I counted, they only had five poses. *sigh* Some of my best gestural drawings were taken away from me by my teacher...who doesn't want to give them back. TT.TT
I still come back to my life drawing classes at least for the workshops just so I can continually keep up with my observational eye. I miss that class *sniff*

Guys are stiff!! haha. They don't have that nice cuve female model have neh. I guess that might be one reason why guys like to draw girls? XD;;
Well just keep drawing more! The best ones don't come until numerous of practice XD;;
Have you posted any of your gesture drawing online? D: *wants to see* I'm going to take life/figure drawing class all throughout my college years so I don't lose touch of it XD;;
