With the beginning of the next month, I'm gonna draw 33 gestures a day and keep going at it, until I've finished my 1000th gesture drawing.

>>3435409
33 a day? Why so little? I can do 20 in 20 minutes.

>>3436092
Because without proper study in between gesture drawing sessions I would be just cementing bad habits.
You probably should also balance those quick gestures with normal, longer figure drawing to max your gains.

MrPurin was so cute before she turned out to be a weakling who can't maintain a long streak.

>>3436134
Who said anything about figure drawing? You only said gesture drawing.

>>3436145
Yes, I said that I am going to draw 33 gesture drawings a day, but I didn't said that's all I'm going to draw.
And gesture drawings are closely related to figure drawing, so it makes sense to do both.

>>3436150
Thats why I asked why so little.

>>3436166
Shut the fuck up

>>3435277
yeah but they're a fucking mess as usual

>>3435277
>gestures
>clearly theres visible construction
these are figures not gestures...

>>3436294

i think you should work on making them more readable anon. i can understand the one on the right but the one on the left i cannot.

>>3435409
>I gotta wait until an arbitrary start date to put some effort in
apply yourself

>>3436294
These are not gesture drawings, these are blind contour drawings. Or maybe blind gesture drawings. But I hope for your sake you weren't looking at the page when you drew this shit

Not really. Did 1/3 of a study.

>>3436092
20-30 minutes a day is an acceptable amount of time to spend on gesture
the key is consistency

>>3436171
No YOU shut the fuck up

draw gesture with your whole arm guys, not just your wrist

whats that site with the poses & timer again?

>>3436454
one time I found myself drawing with my torso
it felt good

>>3436382
;)

>>3436454
I can do it with the elbow but not with the shoulder.
Is that enough?

>>3436349
Right now I'm going through draw a box exercises and that "arbitrary date" is a deadline I gave myself to work harder on them. I already have applied myself.

>>3436308
Ngmi

do you all use that figurines or use any other resources to draw poses?
Is there some page with HD fullbody varied pics without watermarks?

>>3436457
One I use is quickposes

>>3436924
There are a bunch of pose books in the artbook thread

Thanks anons, this actually helped me quite a bit today.

>>3437035
Didn't tought of that, I feel like and idiot, sorry for bothering and thanks for replying

>>3435409


Blowing through many gestures without carefully thinking is a scam to your gains. Don't fall for the /dad/ challenge if you're in it.

ty

>>3437448
Why is doing the gestures AND thinking not an option to you?

>>3437486

That's a lie you tell yourself.

second try at gestures, any feedback?

If you're going through hampton I recommend watching videos on youtube about gesture from some more well known artists for a better understanding. There's a lot of different opinions and information on what it should be, and hampton doesn't really approach it in a beginner friendly way.

I'm a beginner too and I mostly like what I see, try out different styles of gesture and see what you prefer, just keep doing it. Try to time yourself for one or two minute poses, even if you don't like the result it will help you identify the "flow" of movement faster. And always remember to keep 3D forms in mind.

You'll keep hearing "don't copy contour" but it'll take awhile to actually feel like you can separate contour from rhythm

I personally like vilppu's' method. Feel the movement, contain it, and then use wrapping lines to feel the volume.

Here's a couple of my two minutes, a little sketchy, but i've only been learning gesture for a couple weeks

>>3438420
Hampton may have said do them in 1 minute but if you were to take his class he says he literally cannot know if you did a gesture in 1 min since he isn't standing over your shoulder. Take your time and truly try to understand the placement of your line. Speed will come with time.

>>3438420
These are good dude, keep it up till you're efficient at knocking these out.

>>3438590
Tnx for the feedback anon. Didn’t know there were videos from hampton, gonna check that out. I have a lot of trouble with not copying the contour.

>>3438595
I’ll try taking my time, these were done without.

>>3438655
Tnx anon, they’re still pretty tricky imo

>>3439612
Btw these were people in my class, except the bottom gestures, those are imagination.

>>3436994
wow tried it out, quickposes sucks, tons of closed poses, tons of pictures where you can't see the legs, tons of boring 'sexy' poses
