this is just some note for my myself . When doing gesture drawing.The story is added to the paper meaning you dont just copy what the figures doing but essentially translating the story of the pose.This is why gesture drawing is complex more than any fundamental because it need the knowlegde as for story teller.Luckily for artist,The gesture drawing have simpilified by many methodlogy that we can use.Note that it isnt a technic,a stylitic drawing but rather its a component and fundamental to draw the human figure.There are no technic when doing gesture it just depends on you how you want to translate the obejct of you're looking,Not just the human figures(trees,Cloud,or even your everyday object has gesture on it).Its one of the perfect way to communicate.when you're doing this type of gesture try to capture the flow of rhytms of the object rather than capturing the big picture.Its not easy because we tend to go for details.Details will make us feel ease but its not enough to communicate our mind to the paper(story).
WOW that was really helpful. Thanks for the note. I really appreciate it and would definitely try incorporating this important element in my next gesture drawings. Thank you once again !!!!!
I get the story thing, but I don't think gesture is more complex than other fundamentals. On the opposite, I think that beginners should start with gestures before getting into the specific anatomy, just like babies babble before learnings sounds, words, sentences, etc
Jas Bataille yea i agree . gesture can be simple but complex depends on how you use them as a foundation of the figures. but,if someone learn the academics of art they will see gesture in many different kinds of variations. it includes foreshortening,bending twisting motion,exaggerations and many more. but fear not,gesture isnt gonna come to an end ,it will always be used for any kind of things in art. tbh it takes me a while to get them properly and as i improve the anatomy of my figure . i add variation to my gesture foundation with a C curve at lower for example indicating the tibia.
I've recently started gesture drawing and I'm so slow that even when I go fast, I dont finish the drawing. I'm still learning though and taking my art a lot more seriously than I did in the past, and this video actually helped a lot in making me realize what to focus on. I'm trying to shorten the timer from 300 seconds, seeing it done in 20 was shocking but I cant wait to try the 20 / 40 timers!
Sounds great, Alexander! It's cool that you've found your own pace for learning and practicing. It's like training for sports-- start slowly and then begin to work on more challenging things as you progress.
I am also a slow artist and recently had to return to the fundamentals to get my speed up: that's why I'm here! I hope you've benefited from practicing gesture drawing Alexander :D
I loved it! It was so amazing! When I draw, I tend to overthink and therefore my drawings aren't so loose or natural. This challange helped me so much, I didn't have time to think, I just drew by instinct and I'm quite pleased with the results! Thank you so much! :)))
Great to hear, Eszter! Thank you for sharing! Gesture drawings are fun to do and like you mentioned, helps you to get nice and loose drawings with good flow. Not having time to think also sharpens your instincts. Glad you enjoyed it :)
i've watched so many of these videos but for some reason this one felt more pressuring to the point that it made me draw my gestures differently. this was a really cool learning experience, i understand the flow of action just a little bit more i think. thank you
This was so fun and one of the few practices I could actually feel myself learning as I went. I started breaking people down into lines or action and focusing on the more important aspects first. I will definitely be using this for my warmups!
This idea is insanely helpful! Also it gives us an idea of the type of references to use while trying to study anatomy and poses. Great content, love it.
This is a good exercise for really loosening up, as well as how to quickly identify the basic line(s) of form & build from it. Think I will keep doing this exercise!
From my first time watching this, one thing I noticed was how you started the head and the line of action taking place, and just adding, without focusing on details. I used to just draw, what I see, and I would take too much time on each thing, like the head, part of the body, or detail, rather than getting the pose down. This video really does help. and I appreciate you for doing that!
Thank you sir because of you I learned that it's not about the detail or how clean and realistic your drawing is,but about simplisty and having,although it takes me like a minute to draw some thing like yours.and that's from me because I try to do a figuer then go around it
this really helped with my gesture poses! thank you man I figured out that I tended to focus on details too much, so this really helped me go faster and work on the main details :)
Your videos are really helpful! I'm still very much a beginner, but I've gotten so much better just by following along with your tutorials and videos like these. Really good stuff!
Honestly I've been trying to find a better way to do gesture drawing and I really enjoyed this. Yes my drawings weren't the same as theirs but it still gave my drawings a natural look. I feel like if i practice this more i can body gesture then anatomy and really get the human form down no one can stop me. Thank you so much :)
I love this challenge, it really put me out of my comfort zone, and having you draw along is very cool & helpfull for confidence. Thanks for this video! :)
This is very helpful and enjoyable! I hope to see another gesture video, this was super awesome!!! (I have a hard time with anatomy but this helped me with anatomy VERY much) You have my sub and like
I usually don't comment on videos, but for this one I just HAD to. This was extremely helpful and I'm wanting to do it more often now! Thank you so much for making such a helpful video 💜💜
I really enjoyed this video. It helps a lot. I would try to predict which whole curve of the pose you would prioritize with your first few lines, because those are the lines that are really going to define your pose. This is such a great practice for observational skills as well as drawing!
This is something i am looking for you made difficult drawing so easy now going to practice very very helpful. please keep uploading drawing tutorials.
Once i spend hours doing gesture drawing and after that my drawings and poses from imagination just improved so much, is really useful If you don't know how make different poses.
I have never enjoyed something like this before LOL the pressure of being timed 😂
Glad you had fun, Aaron!
agree
I had to slow it down to 0.5x and had it play it back a little but it’s still good video .
I don’t like being rushed either
Extremely helpful and can’t wait to do the 20 sec thing after school man
It is the only thing extra i recommend doing is
Draw the curve of the spine or line of action in the beginning
Who’s watching this during class
SLADE?! DECHIROITO SUMASHUUUU
No one cared about my reference :(
@@devss4982 *Opens door* Ya winning son?
Aaaah that was fun! Though my gesture drawings looked like enderman 🤣
Same XD
True, mine too
@Jasiah Dean BOTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Mine looked like a turd

One year has passed. How has your drawing skills progressed? :D

try just doing the line of action with some silhouetting
@@avatar098they gave up
I have 10 min. school break and was wondering ‘man, I should do some gesture drawing’. Right on the dot, koizu.
gesture drawings are perfect for breaks!
It takes me like 3 hours to make a pose and this man does it in 20 seconds.
No way I’ve waited 6 years
The king has returned
thank you for waiting all these years! Hope these videos have been worth the wait :)
Definitely gonna give this a try, very helpfully
Awesome, sounds great, Hazhatake! Have fun
Just getting into figure drawing and I feel like this has been the most helpful yet. Definitely worth a like and subscribe 👍

Great video, i will try this
I’m definitely going to to attempt this as I’m trying to improve my art skills

all of mine turned out so bad, but i havent found myself enjoying art in a long time. thanks, it really was helpful.
I love your videos they helpe me a lot
It's so good to see you back making videos. I started watching you years ago, and it's good to see you're still going strong!! Keep up the great work!
thanks for the encouragement, pskibobby! Will do!
Thus was really good man!
Cảm ơn bạn! Video của bạn làm tôi giải quyết được một bối rối rất lớn bấy lâu nay khi vẽ tranh!! Thực sự rất có ý nghĩa!
No joke this is so helpful! Thank you and keep up the great work!
Thank you, Adzinno! Will do!
This was fun! Thank you for making this!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Wow amazing
This was so insanely fun
(You should considering making another video like this)
This is something i am looking for you made difficult drawing so easy now going to practice very very helpful. please keep uploading drawing tutorials.
Another amazing video 😎
I did that quite a few times before but its been a while, so thanks :)
I have done one and two minute poses before but never 20 seconds. This was surprisingly fun. I am going to do more of the 20 seconds
Once i spend hours doing gesture drawing and after that my drawings and poses from imagination just improved so much, is really useful If you don't know how make different poses.
