Yes, you can.

By using the intrinsic rhythms of the body.

Now fuck off to the beginner and/or question thread with this shit..

You feel it you fucking pussy.

the gesture is any movement the body makes to express something, even when you're standing still doing nothing you're communicating something.

to capture gestures. even the most boring one you need a sense of weight and how the body balances all of it's mass to stay in that position, or move to the next one, with that in mind you can always find a sense of rhythm in the body.

how do you know that the weight is on the right feet (from his perspective)?

>>2669116
You just do it. It's not hard.

He's tilted very slightly to his right and the right leg is closer to being under his center of gravity.
That said it doesn't patter much for a pose like this desu.

I've heard it recommended that you push the gesture in stiff poses - in yours for example you might exaggerate the slouched shoulders. Gesture isn't necessarily about capturing exactly what you see.

Can you show me the gesture of a brick

It's a straight line along the longer axis

lol wut, gesture is about capturing and exaggerating/emphasizing the main movement. If there is no movement, you emphasize the "non movement" meaning making him even more rigid and symetrical.

>>2669116
the way the are. if something is stiff and rigid - draw it stiff and rigid.

even stiff and rigid is a gesture

i think you are wrong. the weight is distributed evenly on both legs. look at his shoulders. they are rectangular. its just the slight shift in perspective.

>his eyes
"fuck you bitch draw me like this"

Cheat by working out the two basic postures: one where you're slouching because you're lazy and giving into gravity and one where you're proudly straightening out because you lift.
