added comment inHow to Draw Gesture
Asked for help
I'm back with more gesture. This time around, I tried to work on the forms of my figures instead of jumping right to contours from gesture. Not only did this help make my figures less wonky, but also slowed me down so I could correct proportional issues ... for the most part (DSC04199 looks awful).
It's fun to look back and see where I didn't make volumes first, such as the hand for DSC_2965. I used a mechanical pencil instead of a colored pencil for erasing and exactness, which also helped a lot. I can also see big gaps in my anatomy knowledge, especially in the legs and feet.
I didn't try faces this time around, as I've realized I can't draw them at regular size. I'll probably post some portraits to get feedback on those as well.
If you'd like the reference to compare any of my drawings to, let me know and I'll whip it up.
