Hi,

thanks for the video. Can you say the flow goes in the direction of a stretch?

Best regards

Hi,

I agree to @Daniel Daigle. I startet drawing as a hobby 2019 and choose the most difficult areas:

• figure drawing
• gesture drawing (which I like the most, because it is not copying the figure)
  Most artists says, gesture drawing is more difficult than copying

I tried different methods and not all methods fits to all persons. As Mr. Vilppu says: These are all tools. The most part happens in the mind.

I like for example longer curvy lines, but like the “slow” style of Mr. Vilppu. Because I am not an animator, I have not the need to hurry up. I take time for each figure. Sometimes I make multiple iteration to understand a figure.
Sketch the figure mutiple times, like you understand it. Try to understand this as an experiment till you get the correct feeling for a pose. E.g. sometimes you oversee that there is a twist or the one hip is lower than the other.

And what was an enlightment for me the last year: the first line(s) have not to be perfect. In general gesture lines are not visible, as long as you don’t have gesture as art style 🙂
Gesture has the advantage that you can correct it.
Try to draw over it till it fits, you see this in the first lessons of Mr. Vilppus video. Karl Gnass also draws over his first lines, seems not to be correct.
For me persnaly I like the style, where you see the “constrction lines” and it is more “sketchy”. Don’t find the correct word this. Hope you understand what I am meaning 🙂

Yesterday I was so angry not to get a portrait correct. Today I have another perspective on it and remind me on: I do not want copy 🙂 (but this only my goal)

Drawing is unfortunatly a long journey, but a thrilling one 🙂

Hope this helps 🙂

George

Hi,

Thanks for the video. Did the reader of this forum has experience with drawing in such way digital to geht similar results? (e.g. apple ipad or wacom cintique)

The apple pen recognized a tilt, and depending on the brush I get a thicker line. But I could not hold it so flat, like an real pencil. Are there any tips you can give us?

Many thanks and greetings.

Thanks for the video. First thought was: Because from other gesture methodes I am used more C,S and i curves, I thought that looks like an extended stickfigure. But I think with that type of gesture and the 8 heads of the body you get all on the paper very quick. My questions are:

• How do you get so expressive lines? What warm up should I make? I am drawing digital on wacom tablet or ipad tablet.
• How do you get the proportion of the torso right? do make some kind of meassurement or triangulation?

Thank you 🙂

Best regards, George from Austria.

Hi,

I like the approach of gesture from Karl Gnass and the 3 stages. My question is: If I want not to draw photo realistic, do I have also to know the 3rd stage anatomy? What If I want a style only with gesture and volume/shape? (I am a hobby artists). What are your thoughts about this? Many thanks from Austria/Europe.

Best regards

George
