This two standing figures gesture drawing took about 20 minutes total. I drew each figure in about half that, and that’s the goal of gestures. The idea is to get a dynamic and lively figure on the page in under 10 minutes. I used soft charcoal on newsprint paper, but different materials actually can be used for gesture drawing.
I’m considering making an intro course for those who are starting to draw gestures from life. I plan on covering materials, basic drawing technique, and the purpose of gestures. Please let me know in the comments if you’d be interested.
