hello, nice attempt at gesture drawing. I feel what you need is basically there but you struggle to elaborate a good solution to answer your issue. Here you could use some solid shapes in order to create overlap and create solidity on your character. I would recommend grounding your character related to your current prespective (feet for example). From there I would try and get the pelvis, the ribcage, and the shoulder line. Depending on the time you've got to draw (30 seconds, 1 minutes, 3 minutes, and so on), you have to focus your effort on getting the whole figure and so choose which technic and tools you have at your disposal in order to do that. Gesture is about getting the energy and the pose in order to later refine your drawing, not a purpose. So to summarize, you're gesture need energy BUT clarity. how do you achieve that, by analysing what tool do you have and use them to depict the pose as best. If it means using volumes or some sort of tricks you learned before, than be it. I draw a bit where I think you should give more care in order to get the pose right and I also put some of my morning routine drawings (30 seconds to 3 minutes) to show you the difference of refining and where I put emphasize in order to achieve that. I hope this feedback will be useful. Let me know if you have more question, I'll be glad to answer them. | Artwod Feedback
