5 mins of this, is better than 1 hour in a art school

SO HELPFUL! It’s amazing how complicated some people make drawing out to be. This just goes to show how you can always simplify things!

This is really the video that finally helped me make good gesture drawings, every other video was too unspecific and just made me more confused, but this video finally allowed me to make more dynamic looking poses Thank you so much

When it comes to quick poses, this is probably the best video on the subject, because it gives a good beginner level place to start from.

as someone who's been doing this for a couple of months, i can assure you that everything he said is true, this's legitimately the best way of learning anatomy (to me at least) i'm surprised how well it actually works

Thanks a lot for this video. I've watched a dozen or more gesture videos on youtube, but every single one of them did gesture in a different way. They all emphasize that simplicity is needed and not to focus on building forms. But then all the videos have the artist building forms in one way or another. So when I went to do my drawings, I felt like I was failing because I would just stick to wire frame and avoid the forms. It's great to see that I was doing it correctly according to someones method.

This made my brain shift and suddenly I get it now. After struggling for so long with stiff and scribbly figures I finally get it.

WOW thank you so much, just after following along to this video even once did i feel an improvement in my art. you are amazing!

that drawing in the bottom left hand corner at the start of the video tho

Thank you, banged my head against my keyboard following countless methods. I have Andrew Loomis's book on figure drawing, but it's more complex than what you've shown here; I supposed I should just focus on the stick figure and then build myself up a bit.

OH MY GOD! This is the most HELPFUL video ever. I've been able to draw a lot better, thank you so much whoever made this video!!!

Being looking for good info on doing gesture drawing and found nothing useful. This however explains everything I was looking for 👌 thank you.

I need this for my school

This technique is so good fun and helpful. Plus I like stick figures a lot

Man if all youtube tutorials were as simple to follow and do like this I would be more talented then the unpaid artists that draw anime

wow

Thanks , very helpful. BTW you sound like Rob Lowe

What about foreshortened poses?

No desenho gestual não se deve demorar mais que um minuto pra faser a pose,isso ajuda na percepção.

How do I know if the spine is curved differently or more straight than that?

This is not gesture

Misleading! Use the word illustration in your title. Make it clear you are not talking about life drawing. There may be something here that is helpful to commercial artists/illustrators in constructing bland, generic figures but at no point in this video does it discuss gesture drawing. The method depicted in this video is, in fact, antithetical to gesture drawing in nearly every way. Gesture drawing is spontaneous, intuitive, free, and especially dynamic! None of that is here. Indeed "method" is not a word that is very compatible with gesture. The video depicts an analytical, step by step process not an intuitive free, dynamic process. I noticed only one thing here that is helpful in understanding gesture, seeing through the form which is mentioned toward the end. Otherwise, you will never understand gesture drawing by watching this video. Putting it mildly, Nicolaides the original authority on gesture drawing would not approve this video. If you are actually interested in gesture the best way to learn it remains reading the sections about it in his book, "The Natural Way to Draw. I've taught drawing at the college level for 26 years. I've searched and searched for helpful videos on gesture to show my drawing students. I have found one and only one, kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lduBgNZ71te8laM.html. Skip this video and watch that one if your interest is actually gesture drawing. Most of my time searching has been wasted on videos like this. Some means that would clearly distinguish the illustration videos from the fine art videos would certainly be helpful to me.

You can delete my comment of course it doesn't change the fact that at no point in this video is gesture drawing discussed, change the title and take gesture out!
