Energetic Gesture Drawing

A dancing female figure is pictured in this energetic gesture drawing. She might be spinning or jumping with her arms in mid-air. She's pictured from a side, facing to the left.

This energetic gesture drawing is very loose. The torso is defined the most, but the limbs are loosely indicated. Yet, it has the flow and energy of a dance or spinning. I really like this gesture, and these are the drawings I’m after at the life drawing sessions. The poses usually depend on the model, and not everyone can hold a mid-motion pose for 10-15 minutes. However, the shorter poses under 5 minutes are usually not a problem, and they are the best. That’s why I prefer short-pose sessions. Gestures turn out the best when done quickly and with gusto.
