added comment inGesture Drawing - Day 3
Hello! I think I would give yourself a little bit more time, and just work on a few images and make sure that your lines are really showing what you want them to show. I can tell which images the poses would be standing or seated, but the differences between each individual pose are hard to read.
Perhaps have a go at looking at your drawings and trying to recreate the pose in your own body. Then look back at the actual pose, and see which missing or changed lines could have improved your read of that pose. Then redraw those poses.
Maybe even stop yourself drawing the contour, and really limit yourself to basic 'stick-man' drawings for the shortest time control to really simplify the meaning of your lines.
I think your seated pictures are the best (I really struggle with those!) so focus a bit more on the standing ones. Keep it up :)

Well yes I was avoiding to draw the contours as much as possible! At the beginning we tend to pay too much attention to the contours and miss the rhythm of the pose . This happened with me on day 1 of practice. Recreating the pose in your own body sounds interesting :D I will try doing this! Thankyou😁

Hi Divya,
You've done really well capturing the energy of the poses with very few lines!

Hey there! Nice work! I love your lines!
Try to be braver! Be bolder with your lines! Scribble! While it's good to be clean - these are very quick studies, you can afford to be a bit messier, that way you are not forced to accept a mistake that you have made with one of the gestures and such.
Hey Everyone! Sharing my first post on Proko :)
I've been practicing 30 seconds gesture poses and this is my third day work. I was in the effort of making my gestures do good storytelling and I was looking for how I can exaggerate the poses without breaking them. Please share your thoughts on this I would really appreciate :)

Hey there! I have been practicing 30 seconds gestures and here it is! Really enjoyed doing this :D
What do you think? Please share your thoughts on this:)
I would watch where the forms turn sharply, like when the leg is bent at the knee. In the left side, you did well making a sharp corner in the knees to show the turn of the form, but on the right side, the leg was too rounded and the gesture was lost.
I'd continue practicing capturing the gesture and not the contours. Remember the CIS curves, finding the centerline and that if there's stretching on one side, there's a pinch on the other side of the torso. Attached a illustration. Without the pose reference I can't exactly tell what is going on, but I hope this illustrates my point. Let me know and I'll elaborate if not

Which grip should I use for drawing the gestures?? Tripod grip or overhand grip?? Anyone has any advice? How do you guys draw them ?
I usually use the overhand grip. In the beginning it's a little bit difficult to get a hold of it. But I think you can get the lines in a better flow. With the Tripod grip I tend to "break" the line. Than the figure drawing looks more like a stick xD ;) surely goes down to preference though. Just try what's best for you by drawing one figure with both techniques. At least that's how I did it :)
