this one was so hard. I think I am having a hard time simplifying the shapes and the perspective.

Hi Yang, I love gesture drawings. I hope one day I get to draw just as well. I have to ask you a question. I am trying to understand gestures and I keep at it without going further in the course. Is it a good idea to just do this and not move on, or do you recommend moving forward in the course of figure drawing and finish it and then come back to it?
Hey Zainab, thanks for replying. I believe after you've spent some committed time to gestures you should move on. Stan and Marshall talk about this on their learning figure drawing episode of their podcast as well and they say you should spend approx 2 committed weeks on each lesson and move on. The other lessons will help you develop other skills which will help to reinforce your understanding of gesture even if you feel like you don't really understand gesture. And personally when I first started drawing, I feel like I spent too much time trying to practice and understand gesture that I didnt spend enough time developing other important skills in my figure drawing. Good luck!
