Yea my man, I really appreciate you stopping by leaving that. Its interesting I have essentially the opposite problem now of what I had. Before my gestures were really spaghetti like and wopply in "some" of the drawings I would do. Yea, i really need to dig more into that matessi book if you see that as an issue. Today I did some 30 second gestures to try and think particularly about the "weight" of the drawing.
I really see what you mean like, I would draw poses a lot and omit the legs/feet and have em kinda just energetically posing or springing or whatever and now i see why that lacked that quality. I'll try to do some more tomorrow, its interesting to think about now how you can really "feel" something in a gesture, the movement and 2d quality, thanks again!
ALSO today i finally found a message that a person I'd mentioned about two months ago had harshly critiqued me and got me interesting in buckling down or something. Not that I haven't always taken this extremely seriously (double negative); but I found some messages he had been sending me and I thought it was something else that I wasn't interested in reading!
He was trying to encourage me to use straight lines a totally different method than what I am currently doing. So, I dunno what to do really; Maybe I can do both? we'll see...
Oh and the other things are some nate Kap dog caricature studies; I love working with these tiny thumbnail sketches for studies, they really help you focus on the big shapes!
