Hey, thanks!
Kimon Nicolaides states that a gesture drawing can be "as rough as possible, as long as the general idea is on paper within 10 seconds". Other sources show that gestures drawings are much less rougher (like your example) and take anywhere from 60 to 90 seconds or more. I can understand the quality going up as more time is spent on the gesture drawing, but the different standards from the source materials threw me off, as well as what was gained from doing either/or exercise.
Then again, I think too much, as you said.
