Great practice! You have a good understanding of gesture. I can tell you are thinking about the pull of gravity on the breasts in these drawings. Moving forward, I think you can incorporate the pull of the arm position to emphasize the weight even more. Using the egg shape of the ribcage as an anchor point, try to feel the pull upwards of an overhead arm against the pull downwards of gravity. When the model has her shoulder blades pinched together, think about how the chest opens up and the breasts are pulled past the 45 degree angle at resting position.

Hello Castil, I'd agree that your structure underneath isn't the best, and if I were you, I'd go back and redo the spine/ribcage assignments to really know your stuff. I won't look focus on the forms of each piece (your ribcage shape looks really good), but more of it's relation with other parts of the skeleton. Focus on getting proportion correct before moving onto more fun things such as muscles (or breasts). In addition, I'd recommend gesture drawings in tandem with anatomy. Stan always says that when we draw anatomy, we stiffen the flow of the figure. I know it's hard to bounce between gesture and anatomy, but the earlier you start the easier it we be. And there's another quote I really like (sorry I forgot who I'm quoting): we learn anatomy to make our figures more believable, not to draw every muscle. In other words, shape the anatomy to follow the gesture, not the other way around. Lastly, line quality. In Stan's "How to Hold and Control Your Pencil" or Mike's "How Asymmetry and Anatomy Go Hand in Hand" (both here on Proko) videos, both talk about how hairy lines take away from the feeling of a drawing. I understand that how to hold your pencil doesn't apply to digital, but the idea of controlling your line type is still relevant. That's about all for now, I hope I don't discourage you from drawing, I just don't want you to take as long as I did to figure these things out (I don't post much so had to figure it out by myself). And although I'm not that good at digital, I'll post my digital gesture drawings I did today in case you want to see where I'm at. - Dwight

Weight can be communicated with a thicker line at the bottom. Try thickening up those lines there. Also using a little more of an oval shape towards where the breasts fall could help as well. Lastly, but this is personal preference, i wouldn't practice gesture related drawings digitally. Makes it harder and slower imo, but you have to make that decision for yourself.

Hi sharkhead, I have some doubts about the first two figures in the last picture, where the right breast does not seem to connect correctly with the pectoral but I should see the references. For the rest it seems to me that you have drawn them correctly. :)

Honestly, I think there's enough skeleton porn on the internet...which is kinda disturbing
