Such an amazing introduction! I finally feel that I understand what gesture is. It's an abstraction of what you're seeing. As a software developer that makes me very happy.

Thanks so much for this first lesson Michael! I feel like I'm getting the art education I've always needed, super insightful!

Did some body language sketches using the character archetype shapes spoken about in the lecture.

Ooh, definitely insightful! I'm excited to get my sketchbook cracking. Any estimate at when we'll get the next lesson?

Awesome start! Looking forward to the next lesson and opening my sketchbook. Been chomping at the bit for this one.

The introduction to this course was not at all what I expected - but it totally blew me away! Love the concept of character types by shape. So simple, obvious and in plain sight, but literally a real eye opener! Looking forward to the next lesson. :-)

Just saying hello. Getting restarted after a one year detour.

Loved the intro lecture and great to have the book as an accompaniment. Slightly don’t understand the suggestion that ‘don’t worry, no one will see these initial drawings’ as I think gesture drawings can be the end point and are things of beauty in themselves. Aren’t some of Rodin and Giacometti’s drawings just gesture?

Great Michael. Picked up a couple of key points straight up. What is your new book?

What an amazing introduction!!! Cant wait for more :)

I'm so excited for this course! I really liked the merging of the different archetypes. I also need those book recs for body language. Just the hand box mentioned blew my mind. I'm sure there's other secrets I'm missing out on.

Fantastic intro to gesture drawing. This has already helped shape my thinking in my approach to this subject. Thank you!

This lesson was very interesting!. Now I need a complete art history course with Mr. Hampton, please Proko make it happen😄

Yay! So excited for this course. In school gesture was one of the things I never felt like I could get quite right. I knew my instructors wanted more movement, less stiffness but I was lost on how to get there. The more I tried the more frustrated I got. Really hoping this helps me out!:) How often will new lessons be released?

I’ve been looking forward to this class, and I got the book too. However, one class up after this long wait. Talk about an anticlimactic moment.

Yassssss! Okay, as I have the new book, they are a FANTASTIC complement. Your exposition on the topic is really informative and clear. Stoked.
