First steps in gesture drawing
4yr
I'm just beginning gesture drawing for the first time (have done just over a hundred so far - no other figure drawing steps yet). I'm finding it challenging. I think I'm still thinking too much about contour. Do you find gesture drawing gets easier once you have learned more about structure and proportion, even though they're not really a huge part of finding the movement of the forms? I'm practicing, but I worry that I'm making the same mistakes each time. Thanks for any feedback or advice. I think the bottom left one is the only one where I feel I somewhat conveyed the movement/flow of the pose.
