Let's look through your gesture drawings of difficult poses, focusing on common mistakes like symmetry, stiffness, and proportion.

Wow! So excited to see a couple of my drawings mixed in there. The section where you are building anatomy on top of the gesture really helps reinforce why you want us to draw the gesture inside the figure. For me your methods are a very sculptural approach to drawing. I kind of think of the wire armature representing the beginnings of gesture. Boy I could have used this course 20 years ago. As a sculptor I struggle with line and composition quite a lot. Poses are always a little stilted. I'm hoping this course will loosen everything up for me and I believe it already has. Fantastic job!!!!!!

Thank you Michael for looking into my submissions. It's crazy how I hadn't noticed how stiff some where until you pointed it out.

Great explanation of your process after the gesture drawing @Michael Hampton. I found it extremely enlightening. I really enjoy your analytical approach. I can't wait to learn more from your figure construction course which I will be taking after this one.
