Starting to dabble with 2min gestures. I approach these as the 30s ones and then I try to add the "forms". I have a feeling that my 2 minute gestures are more stiff and look generally bad but I don't know what the cause of it is. I assume mileage is one thing. Btw I did more. Just wanted to share a small smaple. If anyone could give me some tips on how to approach 2min gestures, I would appreciate it

I think I am getting the idea of the 30s poses. It takes me about 35 seconds each pose. I think my standing poses are pretty decent. I do struggle with other positions or angles because I cannot use the template Stan gave us in the video. I would appreciate if someone could demonstrate me 30s gestures for the two images I attached below (I even censored them for the kids). Would really help me because I have no idea how to approach it. If you have any feedback regarding my 35s gestures, I'd appreciate it. I do struggle to stay clean with my lines and sometimes finding the rhythms of the legs, especially when there is overlap in the limbs

What implement is Stan drawing with in the video? I've been using pen but it's unforgiving.

In the last pose of this video, I cannot see the exaggeration in the figure that Stan does and draws. I see a pinch on the left side (the model's right side as she faces the camera) instead of a stretch. What am I missing? Or what am I seeing incorrectly?

Today, I did three rounds of gesture studies with some 1 min studies by myself, and 2 sessions following the 2 min and 30 sec videos. For my solo studies I tried to focus on making my work less scratchy to get a clearer idea of the gesture. I think they turned out alright, but I'm worried I may have gone too far in the opposite direction now? Other than that, following along with the example videos really helped! I'll probalby use those as a reference to look back on and evaluate my gesture studies in the future (along with the subsequent example videos).

idk kinda ranges from really good to really bad... dont want to rely on luck tho i want to become more consistent. Any suggestions?

2 minutes for each one, did 15 of them because of the short time I have. Rip them to pieces.

Don’t have much time but use what I have. I try first, watch Stan, then try again. These are all second tries.

Drawing with Stan. First I try, then I watch Stan. Then I draw some more.

https://www.proko.com/s/iMT5 It has been about a month since i've been trying to look at gesture drawing at a different angle (Link up there), and i think i have improved, specially with the 30 second poses (the last 2 photos), the other ones are 2 minutes poses. Please, critique

more warmup gestures

I would like some critique on these gesture drawings. Each took about 5 minutes. I have been practicing for a while but I'm still not sure if I can select the most important informations. Finding the right lines quite mysterious for me. Feedback is more than welcome.

A couple more gesture studies. A4 size plain paper. HB mechanical pencil.

Finding just a few right/clean/beautiful gesture lines is too hard for me, and in a process of "ghosting" lines I usually draw more of them, and usually make more than one attempt when drawing a pose. What works best for me are the kind of gestures marked "IV".

warmups of the past few days (30s and 2min)

Drawing with Stan. First I try, then I watch Stan. I either end up with stick figures or contours. I'm not sure I'm getting the message.

Here are some gesture drawings. Each took 3 mins, and i have been practicing since the last 2 months. I think i am not aproaching it correctly, so, any feeback, IS MORE THAN WELCOME Also, i am not sure if i can upload the nude reference photos, so i´ll keep it like that

Hello, everyone! These are my first 65 gesture sketches in slightly over 2 weeks. I’d like for anyone to give me any feedback on my sketches so that I can master drawing people!

Really helpful I will try to practice more and more♥️
