Got a yoga book? They can be really good for practicing gesture.Lots of flow. My goal was ten gestures today, simplified forms using C and S curves, trying to find the line of action and focusing on flow.

Sorry about that distortion problem! We’re looking into fixing it, don’t worry!
These look SO GOOD. For real, you have managed to capture the essence of these poses with dynamic lines and confident marks. And using a yoga book is a fabulous way to practice poses. Bravo!
HEy thanks for the response! One of my issues seems to be that i do something like these, feel that I’ve grown a bit – and that’s that. Instead, it’s time to either redo these, but faster or improved, or do a different ten.
Challenging yourself to draw the same poses with different lengths of time would be hugely beneficial.
I’d recommend 10 sec, 30 sec, & 1 min. The short time frame is valuable because it forces you to make decisions and trust your gut, which will create more confident lines, and a myriad of other skills. You’re doing a great job, mind you; it’s a good practice for all artists who want to do study the human form.
