Ehi guys, first thing first, you all deserve an apologize for the late reply; I fell in a rut, I got frustrated at some point (don't even know precisely when and why) and I've been slacking and procrastinating a lot lately, didn't have the will force and mind power to even touch a pencil in this past month :( I lost that initial energy I had at the beginning and I don't know why, I blame my daily-job because it drains me out and I don't feel like sitting down after to do shitty drawings and get even more frustrated. Well, I guess I just gave up easily, but I have this drawing-thing stuck in my guts and I now I'll never ever leave it behind, I just need to get back at it and find a way to deal with me avoiding it.
I know there were no need to say sorry, I just feel I found out some crazy talented persons who are actually caring and spending their time to browse through my posts and give tips and share their knowledge, I will never be thankful enough :)

meat Ehi man, thanks for stopping by and for welcoming me :) I will try to use some line-weight next time for sure! I didn't even considered it due to the speed of doing the gesture in that amount of time, I was just thinking about getting the pose down somewhat right!

Jyonny Ehi dude, thanks! I still feel like I'm not completely getting how to sketch down the pose, but struggling will surely bring me somewhere I guess haha :) I was actually doing the Draw-a-Box lesson at that time on the same level as you mentioned with Peter Han's, following this: http://drawabox.com/lesson/2 check this out and tell me, I think it's somewhat the same (the drawabox dude got taught by Han himself)
About the Sycra video, I remember I watched it, went right up to check CD and found out your reply with that same vid ahah I don't remember the whole vid, but the iterative process and what he said about it seems on point! Actually he damn right. When I draw, I usually doodle things randomly most of the time and - for example - if I do a couple of study of the head, then I go to draw something else and that's stupid. I know I should focus on what I've just drawn, then do some iterations on it until I got it right, but I seem to not understand the concept! You know why? I get easily bored (and frustrated). But these are just made-up excuses because I don't want to draw something over and over again, my issue! I saw he did a follow up of that, will watch it eventually!

Sagittarius dude, thanks to you for all the info! I am keeping this post way too long, but thanks! You know what, I almost finished lesson 2 like over a month ago, I am only missing the shape intersection exercise, I found it awfully hard and didn't quite understand how each different shape intersect, I need to figure it out!
I will watch the Proko's videos again (watched actually tons of em, but I seem to be lacking info all the way!)

miracoly dude, thanks to you! For what I recall, you have some really amazing stuff, need to check your most recent stuff and see what you did! I feel you about the full-time job, doing one too and man wish I was drawing more even with that tacking away some precious time from me! I will give you some reasons to keep following the thread, thanks for the trust :)

Raphael thanks for stopping by dude, I really appreciate it! Huge fan of your works :) I've already watched some Villpu videos, I can't really understand how he does it, he's all like 'find the flow' puf pif paf and draws magnifically gestures! Always wanted to buy his videos collection to gain more insights about his method, when I draw gestures I feel all stiff and like something is clinching my guts! I guess that's because I am not relaxed when drawing and that shows with my drawings ;(
I usually used to draw in public or outside, now I feel completely embarrassed about it, like you feel the expectations if someone is watching you and if you end up doing a shitty work then you got an instant disappointing feedback, I just don't go drawing publicly anymore xD and that's stupid, I know, I need to work on it.
I read the fb post you linked me, and I can't agree more. I rely on motivation too, I always tell myself "ehi dude relax, you don't feel like drawing, don't draw, it will eventually come tomorrow" – then tomorrow comes, and I feel exactly like the day before, and I go doing something else. For a long time I kept telling myself "dude, if you buy all these books about drawing you will learn to draw and become a beast!" Got plenty of books and still need to read them all, browse a lot through, got frustrated and don't draw at all x_x how stupid I am.

Peeps, sorry for the pantagruelic wall of text, thanks if you read all the way down here. I'll get back at drawing, I just scribbled some ellipses, a box and poison-vial for a friend (not worth showing).
