How the everloving FUCK does Gesture Drawing work?
>It helps guide your eyes through the motions of the body
Okay, great. I need that, my poses are stiff as fuck and my anatomy is all over the place. How do I do this?
>Just scribble nothing on a page for 2 hours every day and you'll magically gitgud lolbye
This doesn't help explain anything.

Seriously, no youtube or written tutorial has ever helped me understand just what the fuck I'm doing right or wrong. Every time I try to do this shit I just get myself pissed off after 10 minutes because all I've done is just scribbled a complete nothing piece of shit that doesn't even RESEMBLE a human body. Just a bunch of circles and lines on a page. I understand that this is supposed to be "quick 30 second drawings that are for capturing motion" and not something you spend an hour perfecting, but I. Don't. Get. It. I feel like I legitimately captured the human form better when I was 5, and all my people were circles on beans with 4 lines for arms and legs.

What am I missing here? Because I KNOW this shit isn't correct.
