RE: Gesture drawings

in Sketchbook • last month

yeah... awesome... don't overthink.... you progess so much better with 100 quicky dodgy sketches and then 5 more thoughtful ones, that doing 2 more thoughtful ones that take ages.

They are not bad AT ALL. I took my husband to life drawing classes on a date (very early on) and jolly well made sure it was a male model the first time... SO much fun...

i like this one best

just looks "the right energy" the pose doesn't look forced.

anyway great job.

I agree so much. Doing 2 thoughtful ones are rewarding but it takes a long time that anything "less thoughtful" that you make feels less good. This is where the perfectionism comes in.

Does he naturally make better drawings better if it's a male model? I personally find them hard to draw maybe also because I haven't really practiced them. I love women's curves. 😂

Thank you! I think that's from a photograph itself and not a greek statue. Statues like to exaggerate sometimes haha

i mostly just wanted to see him squirm having to draw another man's manhood... lol lol...

however he is MUCH better at technical drawings, think men in armor and intricate goblins than drawing loose curves.

lol about the statues. Either they exaggerate or they all got chopped off and leaves added to "preserve the modesty of the statue.

Have a nice day!
