added comment inHow to Draw Gesture – Step by Step
I am absolutely baffled by how everybody here is going from pictures of real people to these stylized bendy cartoon versions. He just draws lines like they're obvious but... I can't figure out how they connect to the person he's supposedly looking at. Often the finished product looks cool but at best like a vague approximation of the original. And the photos he's referencing are all very slim and in very unrealistic positions, which seems like the best possible starting point. He's got the message up about "motion not contour" and I'm just continuing to stare at this going, you're drawing a person in a single position from a still photograph, nothing is moving! There is no motion! Or talking about using a C curve instead of a straight line to draw something that clearly isn't the spine to make it look "relaxed" when the woman in the photo is laying in what is clearly a very uncomfortable position and not at all visibly relaxed.
It feels like there's a missing "and draw the rest of the owl" part of this explanation for me, but apparently other people are getting it? Is my brain broken or something? Has anybody had this kind of problem and found other explanations that make it click?

Sorry, but where are the assignment images for part 2 and 3 for the obliques? (model quicksketch and skelly drawings) I can only see the ones from part 1, which is to draw the beans.
