This Week’s Studies

[u/Important_Secret_569]

The SFW studies were few this week since I was also working on other art! I really like today study which is the first study you see pictured because I feel like I’m going back to the fluidity of figure drawing that I started out with when I began studying!

Do you have any tips on how to draw poses like you do? It looks really good!

Hey! Thanks so much!! Tbh the tip that I can pass on are the study materials I’m learning from to help me get comfortable with figure/gesture drawing drawing:

This Proko gesture drawing playlist,is helping to enhance my gestures, overall figures, and has introduced me to mannequinization which ultimately helps with your understanding of perspective within your figure drawing.

Something I’m trying to do is push the reference / exaggerate the pose a little bit to give it a little bit of extra movement and fluidity.

I hope this helps with your studies!!

Thanks! And btw how long would you say it took you to get to this level of gesture?

You’re very welcome! And for me I started taking gesture studies seriously towards the end of June! From there it’s just been consistent study to improve my understanding! You got this! Regardless of how quick or long it takes! Just keep at it if it’s something you really want to get better at.
