added comment inHow to Draw Gesture

Asked for help
Me again. After 6+ months of daily practice I'm starting to feel some satisfaction in my gesture drawings. Still find myself drawing a little too quickly though. With the two minute and especially the longer poses I make a real effort to push the gesture or modify the pose in some way, which results in a weaker looking drawing but I can tell it's a good workout for my brain. Drawing well from imagination is my end goal.

I've been doing daily gesture drawing for several months now. Here's are some of my 30 second, 1 minute, 2 minute, and longer sketches. Even with plenty of practice, I still have to remind myself to use fewer lines and focus less on contour.

Hello. Here's a sample of my 30 second and 2 minute gestures. I'm a little reluctant to post these because I've been working on gesture daily for two months and I don't really think my drawings reflect that time investment. But I think posting these is probably good for me. I've watched some videos on the Force method and I'd love to get my drawings even more gestural like that, but my eyes and hand can't seem to make it happen yet.

Two weeks later, here's where I'm at (30 second, 1 minute, and 2 minute poses). I tend to feel like my sketches are regressing, but hopefully they aren't! I can "see through" the contours to the spirit of a gesture pretty well by now, but I have a very hard time getting myself to modify poses under pressure the way that Stan and other skilled artists do in their demos.
