Yeah I'd definitely check what your day's like, just to get an idea! I remember I had a .psd file downloaded from the LevelUp guys, where you had all this different blocks, each one for a different argument. However that would've been useful for a full-time drawing person, which i was 'till two months ago but I did not make good use of all that free time :| because I'm stupid, I started again now to draw seriously when I have less free time haha xD
Anyway, I've got 2 Loomis' books (I really hate reading books on computer, that's one my thing xD), but i'll check that one out, I downloaded all of them some time ago.
My burst of motivation ends every time I have to face with my drawing weaknesses; until I just fantasize about how awesome would be to draw some cool shit, I feel excited—when I realize I can't do that, I start to feel frustrated... guess that's a common pitfall.
About my workstation, thank you! All the mess is on the desk on the left which you can't see XD and fuuuuuck, yes! My back always hurts after a while! I find also very hard to mantain proportion since you really can't have that much control over the paper :| I always wanted a reclinable table, but then I will need to move everything but the drawing material. Tabletop easel you say? Can you show me something? Drawing from the shoulder is a must, in my case I rarely do that, mostly from the elbow!
Thanks again mate for the time you put every time in your answers, they are always helpful!
Well, going to post some old and new gesture drawings I just did (may I say a complete disaster? Yeah)
Old ones (from a month ago I guess, last time I did gestures before today):

And the ones done today:

I do apologize for the ever-lacking of quality :| hope to get a new phone asap!
Anyway, the first batch were done with pen, the latter with pencil. What kind of medium do you recommend for gesture drawing? I'm a huge fan of Ryan Woodward's gestures, he uses a Contè stick (looks like charcoal), he makes wide big strokes for the masses—well, I don't know, the only thing I know is that mine sucks xD
Cheers guys!
