ive been drawing as a hobby for years (digital anime stuff) but i just did gesture drawing in my college class yesterday and it stumped me so hard. Seeing everyone else's gesture drawings really hit me hard as to how ignorant I am in terms of art basics. I had no idea where to start and how i should be doing gesture drawings. This video helps give me a place to start. Thanks michael and proko!

Really a great video. I work a lot on gesture and have slowly been coming to most of the same conclusions myself but having it said so plainly really solidifies the ideas.

Gesture drawing is fascinating and hard at least for me I’ve been struggling with it for months now, the (apparent) simplicity of it reveals how well u understand the human body rhythms and structure it gets specially tricky when u try it in perspective thanks for the lesson Mr Hampton and Proko 💕👍

@jerryye1060 Жыл бұрын

this was exactly what I needed! I always felt that my gesture drawings done from life drawing class were not entirely useful when drawing from imagination. It's because I was focused too much on making the gesture look nice and flowy, but not enough on the information that I can derive from doing the gesture! That would be things like the direction the spine is bending, the tilt of the head, how the feet is planted and how weight is distributed, and which main muscles are flexing/stretching. I was always told to view gesture as a more loose and creative process but being able to connect it practically to anatomy has definitely helped me design better looking figures from imagination!

This is so good. I'm learning Perspective basics on shapes and forms and doing 2-5 min gestures a day. This really helped break it down for me in a comprehensive way. Detailed exactly how the body would be naturally built and how it wouldnt. Hopefully after a month of doing this I will be able to come up with and design gestures without a reference.

I remember when I went to the art institute of the inland empire (now defunct). I was taught by michael hampton. Sure I wasn't great by the end of it, but god damn did the guy teach me a lot about drawing. I didn't draw at all before going to that school, I did 3D modeling for fun. By the time I had dropped out I had a good set of skills under my belt for drawing. I wish I stuck around but it was just so god damned expensive. I didn't really keep up with my training but recently I decided to relearn. I've been using his book to help. Very informative stuff, I recommend it: Figure Drawing Design and Invention
