_spec's stinky sketchbook

[_spec]

loving the new stuff, ur shape language + ur style is really developing nicely.

In terms of gesture, those are also coming out well. Specifically, I really like the top left of that page, you seem to be the loosest there. One thing that I feel has helped me and could help you is when doing those gesture drawings, don't worry about accuracy and focus on pushing the pose to the point where you basically break it. really get to "character" of the pose and once you've gone too far you'll know how to reign it back in. Also I feel like you might be ignoring feet a little bit which have tons of character to them and also act as an anchor for the weight and balance of a pose.

Great work man keep it up

Thanks homie.
That's actually a great idea. I remember in one of Sycra's older vids, he talks about just that- pushing a pose to it's limit to get the most character and expression then dialing it back a bit. Gonna try to focus on that (plus feet) on tonight's class. Sometimes I still find myself getting caught up with accuracy and measurments haha. Appreciate it!
