Morphex
Did some gesture drawing and i dont know how to feel about this stuff. Its so hard to relax and just do the motion. I am constantly tense and my nervs stand on edge every time i try this. And i just feel like i am just drawing random lines. Are they suppose to be this bad in the begining? I sure hate them and want to throw them all away. But i know i cant because i need to have them to compare and see if i have gotten better with time or not. But back to gesture drawing. I am very new to this stuff and i am not good with timers. it causes me to panic and think "oh god i have to finish it within said seconds oh god oh god oh god!" I will say this now because lets be honest here no one will even look at this let alone give feedback. The only once that get feed back on this site are the people that can already do Leonardo da vinci stuff and then pose "plz give me feed back so that i can stroke my ego".
PS. Sry for that last part. just wanted to vent a bit. Tho then again its not like anyone will help me anyway. After all i am not Leonardo da vinci. wink wink.

I have to say, for your first time doing gesture drawing, these are really good! My only advice would be to loosen up a bit more, but that really comes with time. It definitely is really stressful at first, but it gets less stressful the more you do it. Something that's helped for me is doing my gesture drawings digitally (or on paper I don't care about), so if it doesn't turn out well, or I don't like it, I don't feel like I wasted paper. Keep at it! You definitely have some talent with this!!

Asked for help
Hi. I have difficulty enjoying drawing at the moment and drawing the body at different angles. Heads are also one of the most difficult things for me to draw ... also hands. So feedback is much appreciated.

I also think its hard to draw faces, eyes are the hardest to draw in my opinion i usually cover them up with sunglasses. A thing that you can do is go out and observe people walking or stretch, be the creep starin! It helped me alot when i first started drawing.

Hey Nauhyam ST OMER,
To begin with, instead of just using a circle to describe the head, you should use an egg shape. Also, make sure you keep the hands in proportion with each other and treat them like shapes.
It looks like you are trying to use anatomy too soon, you should start with gesture and structure before tying to use anatomy.
I did a quick sketch to show you what I mean, I hope it helps :)

Well morphex,
To begin with, to really get gesture, you have to draw with your whole arm, from the shoulder, not with your fingers. You have to find an "S" or "C" curve that describes the whole pose from top to bottom. Also that describes the limbs so that the figure has gesture through out.
I also would forget using timers until you feel comfortable with doing what I described. Timers are just meant to keep you from getting into details.
And lastly, I always suggest people post the reference that they worked from because it makes it easier to give feedback. I did some quick sketches of some of your poses to show you what I mean, but I had to use my imagination because I didn't have the reference that you used. Something to think about in the future.
I hope this helps :)
