Gesture drawing Tutorial

Ok, so, I am by no means a master at drawing the human figure. But I'm working on it! I also wanted to pass along some things I've learned in my first few weeks of my figure drawing class.

As it says, there's lots and lots of approaches to drawing a figure - gesture drawing is just one of them. And this approach to gesture drawing is just one of many as well! But it's the technique I've been using and having a lot of success with.

At very least, it's always fun to give a new technique a try and see how it works for you.

When I get the chance I'm going to do a follow-up about using plumb lines and measurements to correct proportions. I know my proportions are a bit off here.
