30s gestures! Rust? Off day? Well, on to the next!
Jake Miller
Time for me to get more comfy posting my works online again! If for anyone, for myself to see how far I can go.

I have come to really love and enjoy gesture a lot that's it's almost all I want to do every day! I was feeling pretty comfortable with my natural gestures lately and I wanted to try doing it in different ways. I found someone else's gesture works and I LOVED how they looked, so I've been trying to emulate their style as I work on them. Usually I do figures like this in about a minute, but I give myself 2 for style studies so I can take it a bit slower and observe the model and the reference and ponder a moment on how the other artist is thinking. I hope to incorporate a lot of this into my own. There's another gorgeous gesture artist I've seen that uses a lot of shadow to define the shapes and barely any contour at all, absolutely stunning work, I wish I could find the originals I saw, but I had only seen them as an example in a video that I don't remember.

Asked for help
I should start posting my daily gestures. Where do I go from here? Will my gestures improve incrementally? Or am I to forever create gesture as appears here?
Jake Miller
Got it done! It only reinforces that I've got a lot of work to do.

Nice, land tidy handwriting to.

Week 2 of the challenge! I think the rust is coming off, at least from today, I kind of had a comfort breakthrough again, it's good to get back into it. I noticed I repeated a figure from the day prior, but I think they make for an interesting comparison since I had forgotten I'd done it.

A tad late, but this is a good start to scrape off the rust and study some more. I am much more comfortable with digital, but there's a mix here. Essentially all of the traditional ones were done on my train commute to or from work. Also keeping notes! Found I really enjoyed it as I went along, really helped organize my thought process and post draw feelings.

Forgot how fun gesture can be, this was an awesome motivation this week! First image is 1 minute, then the rest are all 5 minutes.

These show such confidence. Very pleasing to look at!

I rarely draw for myself, basically 90% of my art is just study. When I feel in a rut, just scribbling away aimlessly reminds me that I AM learning, and it also shows me my weaknesses in imagination. Really it reveals a lot of wear I lack in fashion design, honestly it's very weak, but I don't think my fundamentals are strong enough to focus on something like that yet. Also a completely generic unreferenced sword because I think big swords are cool, could have benefit from a bit of reference, ahaha.
Jake Miller
oh boy, I feel like my gestures suddenly got worse, that's worrisome. Suddenly too self-conscious about them maybe, I hope that this negativity doesn't stick. Somehow 2 minutes suddenly isn't enough and I can barely get anything done, this was never a problem before, just can't let it get to me.
