added comment inCritics for my gesture drawings
Hey Ranma,
I think the biggest thing here is that these are not really gesture drawings. A gesture drawing is when you use one sweeping line to describe the gesture of the whole pose, top to bottom. What you're doing is trying to add anatomy, which is getting in the way of the gesture. Try doing these with your whole arm and not just your wrist. I took one of your poses and drew over it to show you what I mean, notice there is no anatomy. I hope this helps :)

Hey Steve ! Thank you very much for your answer and taking the time to draw over my pose ! I think I finally understood what’s the difference between contour drawing and a motion/gesture drawing where the contours are drawn. I’ll try to make poses with one sweeping line and no anatomy at all ! This helps, thank you !
Hello !
Here are some of my favorite pages/or different approaches of my attempts to gesture drawing, I was wondering if I could get feedback?
I often forget to draw the line of action (even if each time I realize I do that, I am like « oh lord oh no » and I spent five min focusing on the line of action, but then I forget again), and even when I don’t forget it, it feels superficial to make my figure around it. Is it very apparent in my drawings that I am not completely at ease with this line?
thank you all very much !

Haven't drawn in a while, and I usually don't post anywhere, but I need to get in the habit for both so here goes. Just followed along to the video today, but I'll start using other references tomorrow. Going to shoot for 20 a day to start. Feeling pretty rusty and messy, 😂
Hey ! I like your gesture drawing, especially the second page ! I like how you achieve on some figure to use only one line for a whole side (like torso + leg). Wishing you well !
