It has been awhile since I last posted, mainly because it was just practicing the same gestures.
Since then I felt that my gestures were not expressive.
I came across the new masters academy youtube channel and watched glenn vilppu draw gestures which is also similar to the way michael hampton does his gestures in his book, and they looked alive and expressive.
I watched him draw the gestures over and over again picking up the concepts and the way of thinking etc.
I feel it is making my gestures more expressive and feel it is helping my mannequin drawings too.
My proportions are off in some of them so I will be working on that more.
I am now splitting up my days and dedicating days to certain practices. gesture 3 times a week mannequin 2 and the other 3 will be dedicated to studies of a specific area of the body, the basic construction of it and eventually the anatomy.
I did struggle with the mannequinizing of the laying down poses. They had heavy perspective so it was a good challenge.
