Peter's Sketchbook

Now i struggle with this too, but its the swishy lines for gestures like to indicate legs; Make sure to get that silhouette close at least and in proportion, it makes a world of difference. And one trick i learned from vilppu is muscle insertions should be exaggerated with line, at least make it a little heavier or shoot for a more exaggerated C curve or heavier straight line, it can really add life to a drawing ;)

Thanks for the advice. Glad to know I'm not the only one who struggles with leg gesture, the damn thing just doesn't seem to click for me. I understand the gesture when the leg is standing straight but when it's foreshortened or perfectly straight from a front view for example I don't understand how the gesture looks. 

Can you remember what video of Vilppu's your referring to? Would really like to check it out. :)
