January 30th Gestures
Created
January 30th, 2026
More gestures. I was definitely struggling drawing these but I actually got a lot less frustrated than I normally do when I struggle so that's probably a good sign of something. To be honest I'm not entirely sure if doing these gestures are really helping me at the moment, on one hand I get it it's important to see the gesture in things to avoid stiff art and seeing the rhythms of life but on the other hand at this moment in time do I need to be doing this? I suppose so considering some of the poses I was still having difficulty with finding the gesture of some of these poses like that guy lying down in picture 5. It'd probably be more helpful if right now my study art wasn't focused on getting a bit more familiar with the head, if I was studying the body I'd probably be seeing more improvement cause lord knows I still need to learn arms and legs.
I guess maybe I should wait on the gestures until I get back into studying the body's anatomy then so this might be the last gestures you'll see for a bit and I'll focus on my current studies. Unless I do like head gesture drawings? which? I'm not sure what that would entail? I'd have to look into it but I'm not sure if that's really a thing people do i dunno. I know I'd said I try this for like a month and I will but like I said maybe when I'm back to studying the figure/body.
