Actually interesting you say, i find the best results sofar for myself, to be starting with a ling full body gesture line but then filling in the forms quite blocky before adding a few small curves.
i think allot of people dont like bridgmans blockyness but i think for learning how to day its very helpful to go blocky. i've experimented with a bunch of different approaches and the results can be real interesting. it really amazes me how much difference starting with a gesture line makes.
i like the idea that you start with something super loose like the gesture, then something hard like blocky forms then pull back to the middle ground.
i find this method of going beyond in both directions to find the middle works real well for me in many ways and im a big advocate for constant 'course correction'
as i heard once, to get to the moon they dont just fly straight, they change course as many times as they need till they get to their destination
anyway thats my ramble
