Front and Back Figure Drawing
Here’s one more duo, a front and back figure drawing. These two gestures show seem the same standing pose on the first glance, but they are very different emotionally. While, the back view figure seems very relaxed and static, the front view one has a lot of movement to it. I find the interest is

Quick Gesture Drawing
Two female figures are depicted in this quick gesture drawing. The less complete figure took about 2 minutes, the other one – 15. These two figures display different stages of drawing that I normally go through. One the left, it’s the very beginning, the very first strokes. On the right, it’s 15 minutes into an

Side View Figure Drawing
This side view figure drawing looks like a dance to me. The two figures are looking at each other in expressive pose. It’s unusual to get two similar views in a row, but these two drawings might have been drawn with a break. If not, then it was just lucky that the figures ended up

Front and Back View Gesture Drawing
I like this front and back view gesture drawing! The figures have volume; there’s a good flow of light and shadow. Even composition is interesting. I always try to balance figures on the page, but balance doesn’t always mean equality. I like how these two figures are on different levels. This “off-balance” creates a relationship

Quick Figure Drawing
This quick figure drawing probably took 10 minutes total, and about 5 minutes for each figure. The figure on the left, that’s facing the viewer could have been more dynamic. I’m not sure if the model was in a static pose or if I simply captured it that way. But it is too balanced, I’d

10-Minute Figure Drawings
Here are two more 10-minute figure drawings. I like these two gestures. The overal proportions are good, and the figures are lively. It looks like these figures actually have weight. The poses are dynamic and not overworked, I could definitely build a complete drawing off of these. These are from 2021, and I don’t even

Gesture Figure Drawing – Separate Ways
Some day we will meet and then go our separate ways. That’s the feeling I get from this gesture figure drawing. I drew these from live model at a local art studio. These two feminine figures took about 10 minutes each. I used soft charcoal and newsprint paper. I like the overal feel of these
-
Two Standing Figures Gesture Drawing
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

Discord Gesture
These two poses look like a discord gesture. Something along the lines of “Fine. Fine!’ has transpired here and now they’re walking away in different directions. Who’s going to say “sorry” first? That’s what imagination is for! ;D Each pose in this drawing took about 7 minutes. I like the flow of lights and shadows

Two Standing Figures Sketch
Here’s another two standing figures sketch. This could also be a drama-lama sketch, because there’s definitely some tension between the two. The one on the left totally didn’t do it, but the one on the right knows this story too well. Anyway, hope they work things out! I didn’t mark how long these sketches took,

Life Drawing of Two Standing Figures
Here’s another life drawing of two standing figures. Each gesture took about 7 minutes. I used willow charcoal on newsprint to draw these. I like the energy of these two figures. The back view one looks confident and ready for the day, while the side view figure is a little bit tired as if after

Side and Back View Figure Drawings
These two side and back view figure drawings took 7 and 10 minutes each. The side view pose is more complex, and as the result it’s less finished. The back view pose is rather relaxed and straight forward, so it looks more finished overall. This sketch gives me an idea of a conversation. Each figure
