--Well gestures without somehow the right porportions will still look weird and might not capture the gesture you want at all. So a bit of perspective and accuracy is important I think

--Yo John.... I am with Muzz. Accuracy is pretty damn important. So if all you are doing is practicing quick (are they quick?) gestures that don't go any further, all you are learning is how to draw loose quick gestures.

--There goes my artistic credibility! Right out the gate, straight to the trash bin.

--What do you mean a step further, adding more form or going into more construction, because right now I am taking things small steps at a time with the book of hampton. And actually try to finish it.

--But! I like elsevilla.. Then again, I have probably a low-brow taste for everything!
13 May 14:22
--Like from what I noticed I have to work on is form and movement of the pose.

--Just quick question, what do you guys immediately notice in these drawings:
13 May 14:21
--When you understand form, then gesture starts to make sense in a 3d form, and it becomes more about posing a figure rather than 2d lines of action.
13 May 14:20
--I don't disagree John. I'm just saying that you don't wanna become the next elsevilla
13 May 14:20
--Have you ever passed something that's really good because composition or the arrangement held far superior than clinging close to being mathematically accurate to perspective? I know I did!
13 May 14:16
--I agree! But I'm defending the point of having a nice rhythm! Not every good piece of art needs to abide by the laws of perfect perspective.
13 May 14:16
--Hmm what I noticed so far is that you do need accuracy, especially for studies, to learn how things work. Later on you can than simplify. You first need to know the rules, before you know how to break them properly

--Ooh, CD format looking more streamlined with the General section minimised. At least that's how it lools on my phone. Also, happy birthday, Bjork!

--You don't do accuracy to learn how to copy, that's not the point of it. It's that your perception is warped. You know when you flip something and it looks fucked? that's your perception at play. Learning to draw accuratley fixes that.
13 May 14:13
--But after posting my drawings just now, I do notice form is what I have to practice, and draw with less lines.
13 May 14:13
--accuracy is the first step to being able to reinterpret what you see and improve it
13 May 14:12
--Which is kind of the reason why I asked is is 100% accuracy always the thing we should be aiming for.
