JyonnyNovice Thanks a lot for that gesture drawing breakdown, I think it has helped me a bit, looking for line of action is something I forgot about even though I read it so many times! Your drawing easel looks nice, but is really comfortable to draw? That base where you rest the paper looks obstructive to me! Maybe it's just an impression, I would more likely go for a rigid drawing board with a clip to get the paper stuck! I should definitely get one, that will make me draw from the shoulder I guess.
Renato thanks man! I appreciate a lot that you stopped by! I checked Negrea's gumroad, and looks interesting! I'd definitely buck that 3$ to get more insights about character design! Anyway, writing things down is something I usually do, but since often there are lot of informations, I end up with something I don't really understand. Even Bridgman's book it's not that clear to me (I don't know if maybe it's because English is not my main language, but I go well with it, it's just how he describes things that makes me kinda confused).
Flo thanks for stopping by! I should definitely write things down more constantly, I'm just not very used it even it happens. I don't really know what I'm doing right now when I'm copying, I just try to make things look nice and proportioned. I think I need to start asking myself questions, answer them, then try to draw from imagination what I just learned. Even now I should draw a pose from memory, or a skull, ora a head, I end up with something really horrible. I have to practice more I guess!
Well, here you are yesterday and today's gestures sessions (and one page with some Bridgman's head).
60s for each pose, about 30min per session.
They went shit, but I'll get it. I don't know if maybe I should increase the time, but maybe I won't learn how to capture the essence of the pose? What a mess XD

Well, doing gestures traditionally surely helps a lot, but when it comes to scan everything is a hell of a time consuming XD I need to start doing them digitally, but I don't feel quite ready to do the shift.
