Here's my go. Sorry for the gesture studies all around it, should have taken the picture before I went on to fill the page. One thing I struggle with - it's how messy and confusing things start to become once I go through all the steps. It feels a bit like a tangle of overlapping lines fighting for attention. In Photoshop it's great that you can turn down the layer's visibility. Is there some trick for traditional drawing? Or I just need to learn to control the thickness of my lines and start very softly?

I am finding the gesture very difficult. I watch the demos and I Michael Hampton does it effortlessly. I can somewhat mimic him but when I go to a pose that’s similar and attempt it on my own, I get overwhelmed. I can’t figure out if the thoracic gesture line is the contour or somewhere approximate. Same with the limbs: is it the edge of the arm or the middle? Anyone else struggling and can give some advice? Am I overthinking it? Thanks

I struggle with accurate gesture lines too. I have been doing daily gesture studies of 10 - 15 poses 2 minutes each for about a month now, I think it's starting to help a bit.

Loving the course so far! Spent a long time deliberating which one to go with for figure drawing, so many great teachers here, think I made the best choice. Love your style of teaching and how everything builds on top of previous knowledge. Hope you will do a course on anatomy too some day.
