We’re exploring a classic Proko topic today: gesture. Gesture drawing is all about capturing the action of the pose. As you’re sketching, focus on the movement throughout the body parts and the expression rather than the details of the anatomy. Use our timer tool for a quicksketch session, ensuring you’re not spending too long on a pose. 5 minute poses are a classic. If you're feeling brave, challenge yourself with 1 minute poses, leaving only enough time to capture the most essential action lines. The references we’ve provided will give you a range of dynamic poses to practice from. If you need guidance, I recommend reviewing these lessons: How to Draw Gesture Draw Any Pose From Any Angle - Rhythms INSTRUCTIONS: Go to https://proko.com/timer, select the Day 8 reference pack, choose the quantity and duration in the right sidebar, and start the session!
