Really enjoyed this. I've always struggled to understand gesture so this course is really welcomed. Looking forward to how we build from here.

Can’t wait to get further in this course already! I’m also realizing why my older gestures looked like they were scrunched.

I really liked the bit about just cutting the line at the bottom to make it 7.5 heads tall. I've always been so confused making shorter people because I don't know how to divide the proportions! Do you just keep chopping off the legs? When do you adjust the torso proportions so it doesn't look odd and how can you do it so you end up with a 6 head figure rather than a tiny 8 head figure? Should I try it for the critique video or stick to more conventional proportions? Also really loved the comparison to the horse! I also love drawing animals so it was super interesting! Would love more tidbits like that further in the course.

I feel like this is such important information, but I've never even really seen it or heard it before.

Having an overview of the proportions this early in the course will help a ton. I found that a lot of times, it's added in towards the end of a course. I struggled with it. Time to practice. Thanks Michael!

Great explanation Michael, I definitely draw hands too short, legs too long, butt too high and so on. Would it help with gesture to know at least some basic anatomy of muscles and bones or are these big ideas, as you say, enough for this course? Guess we’ll pick up some anatomy along the way - really cool how easily you drew that arm. Cheers.

Brilliant! I'm always blown away by how well you break things down.
