that really what i believe will unlock the essence of gesture once you able to capture the energy in a compressed amount of time.Use simple line to describe the action of the spine and the balance of the pose.Only use C S I line basicly use only arc or a serpent like line and straight line.
It important that you keep moving the pencil to infuse energy to the mark making use the ghosting technique.
Don't under estimate the power of short gesture study it where you learn to avoid stiffness by pushing the line of action.
I've actually been meaning to do quicker gesture practice, just thought I'd start with 2 min gestures and work my way down once I got comfortable doing it but I gave it a shot tonight :)
Your definitely right that quicker gesture practice will help loosen up my drawings, think I need to re watch Proko's videos a few more times to ingrain what he's talking about.
