I don't know how many times i watched these gesture drawing videos, i keep reviewing it everytime i feel i am a little lost, that i am not controlling the pencil. we are so lucky to have acces to such a content.thank you so much for this, most of my improvement in drawing is because of your videos.
Yup, just the first stage where you develop the gesture. I explain it in my previous 2 videos
Is it weird that I find the gesture drawings little peices of art in them selves. They are each so different and beautiful. Maybe its just me.
i knowwww
complete madness I have a full sketch book of gesture drawings that I never finished because I thought they were already complete
it's because he's doing it so well that it looks that good
send memes .. Tiger anatomy
me too...gesture drawings have their own unique aesthetic
If you look carefully, you will notice that even experienced Stan does a lot of wrong lines before the perfect one. The secret is that he's holding the pencil just above the paper, does his 'wrong' lines, without actually drawing... and when he sees that the lines are perfect, he lowers the pencil and Bam! Perfect line.
You probably already know what you're doing then. I posted these just as a few more examples from the previous lessons for those that need to see more.
watching this video : ' Ha, it is bloody easy! '
when you are trying : ' 2 mins is too short '
MorayShot yeah, you think smth went wrong so you waste time on overdoing
It comes down to practice, when you start it may take you 5 or 10 minutes but over time and as you do it more you get quicker. If you don’t have a live model and are using pose books or similar is to have some way to automatically change the picture every 5 minutes. When I did life drawing our teacher would the model to change positions like that to force us to simplify the drawing down to just the gestures and not overwork them.
That's true, i reaaally need to learn to exaggerate
this is so relatable
I really must thank you Proko. Ever since I started watching your videos, I feel like I have improved so much at drawing! Especially at gesture drawing and pencil work. Just the simple change to the way I hold the pencil has seen drastic improvements! Thank you so much!
Thanks to you I was able to improve my drawing capabilities so much in 5 months. Seriously, Thank you Proko.
I feel like you just inspired me. I have a lot of art blocks, cause I see so many incredible artists online, then when I find out there only 13 my mind is blown to shreds. I now know to seriously not underestimate people due to there age. I just started figure drawing at 17 but that won't stop me from practicing and becoming a better artist.
Definitely. You get to use your whole arm instead of just the wrist, which results in better line quality. Also, you can control the angle of the pencil to get thin or thick lines, or a transition from thin to thick.
Me and my god damn contour mind
I feel you bro I too have such a mind
the way you controll that pencil is so elegant, i can feel the flow in every stroke
Post more videos of you going through the figure drawing. Im finding it extremely helpful after the lessons to go and watch these videos, do my own drawing, and then go back and watch how you had formed yours. This is saving my life rn
That music! Makes me want to watch Charlie Brown.
Invin extra
6 years later and still useful, thanks Proko
i dont know if you will see this, but really thanks to you that i can improve a lot on my drawings. i saw a lot of improvement on this year because your videos! really thank you so much
Such simple drawing but it is so beautiful! The body is such an amazing thing to capture
I've found that studying gesture drawings by the masters gives you a lot of options to develop your own style. Don't rely on just one person's method. Though there are some concepts mentioned that certainly apply to any gesture drawing
Thanks for these detailed tutorials. Truly appreceate.
That's true.. I'm now 33.. I just only began my learning.... My policy is Life is not about when you start but how hard you start, how sincere in ur attempt... It will surely bring results...
I like how you have that little extra time at the end of each poses. Your just there, and thinking "What could I add more!"
Thankyou for all your videos. Super amazing work
When I started figure drawing, I once saw those stock images (the one you're using) for references. I have since been looking for those stock images because it helped me learn gesture drawing.
I am telling you. Just the other day I was having problems with drawing even a 30seconds pose...and I really wanted to know as to 'how' artists have 'that' kind of curves when they draw quick sketches and today, you popped up. Thank you for clearing my doubt ! thank you !!
That looks pretty simple and easy to learn from. Thanks for such a great tip!
I haven't drawn in almost a decade and these exercises really brought back the muscle memory. Also, I now have an appreciation with gestures becuase I use to just draw my characters either standing or just half-body lol
Glad they were helpful!
Keep up the drawing you're doing! It can be incredibly fulfilling.
okay honestly This is something I needed to see. I always feel self conscious in my class when everyone has been drawing since they were young and I'm the only one who just started. I kept feeling intimidated and like I wouldn't be good at all. And no one has ever mentioned that they have only gotten started so late. Never put it into perspective before...
I love your style with drawing figures
learned more here than when i went to art classes
Michelle Valiev Should have paid more attention in class.

Thank you mr proko, i have found my confidence
Thanks for your tutorials!
I like these because when you do something that I dont understand, i can look for what you see so I can learn to see it too. Thnx.
love these gesture studies....great information....lila
I really like the videos of Proko and I hope to have more wonderful videos
Thanks for the quick Gestures! I've learned so much from your Head series and the Figure Drawing series is fantastic. I have to say the real epiphany of this series is using an upside down heart for the breast area.

Its best tutorial article! Thank you..!
Loved your videos a lot ....very helpful
These are very nice examples
thank you Proko.
awesome strokes ..
Dude, you are the best!
so beautiful
Thanks for sharing. This gives me some insight on how to draw the frame. I tend to lose my focus when I try to estimate the dimensions on the opposite side and then I get it uneven.Thank you for sharing.
Great helpful videos
I personally feel that by drawing the clavicles and using them as referance to the rest of the upper body, along with the center-line, helps to reveal much more of the gesture. What do you think? Great channel by the way!
Thanks for this tip!
great man, very beautiful!!
I'm practicing this starting now! I'll do my best to improve my craft! Thank you for the opportunity and advice Proko. I really mean it. From the bottom of my heart.💖
Awesome channel, nice and cool tutorials! :)
interesting, thx for the input.
Very helpful... Thanks
thank you mr. now i know how to draw motions thanks a lot
Thank you Stan
thanks a lot Stan!
Very nice trick ........
That piano is lovely, shoutout to the original composer!

Hey Stan! Could you please do a tutorial on drawing figures in perspective? Please! In need of it!
Like all the time the best Gracias
❤thanks sir
I wish there was a model posing app with a timer that switched between random postures like a class
Try croquis cafe on vimeo
zSquigly ok 👍🏻
Thanks
She is so beautiful
I like ur draw thank u 🌷🌷🌷
Nice
Nice video
°O° really... i love your videos
Good!
Excelent!
Thank you XD
Would you recommend holding the pen that way when sketching using a pen tablet?
so good music
Beautiful and very professional drawings, love it. What is the type of your pencil. I would like to try some sketches. thk. :)
Ok, there is one thing I managed to notice in the gesture drawings here, which is that you do the torso as an oval when it comes to a profile view of the body, but an always a rectangle-ish shape when the body is seen from the front, interesting, I'll keep this in mind
Can you make a video that focuses on only what not to do when doing gesture drawings?
Ur amazing thanks u so muxh
no, thank you
Dude, you gotta put more poses on your website. I've already drawn every one at least twice. PLEASE post more. I need more practice
you are my friend!
Should I practice gesture first to then get into pose and structure of the figure?
Hi Stan! Thanks a lot for all the helpful videos! :)
I wondered how to apply gesture drawing to a "curled" pose? Like someone kneeling down or curled up seen from the front? I have no idea how to approach that kind of pose with gesture.. :/ Thanks a lot!
I'm a bit confused on what to study first? Gesture drawing before anatomy? or Anatomy first then gesture drawing? any advice?
this is great what you do, also I need to learn to draw animals. what are your technics to draw animals?
Hi, I love your lessons and I learned a lot. I take it slowly and practicing every bit of it, just wandering if you have page at pinterest?
awesome!! how do you determine length of arms, legs etc. I didn't see you put a line to start from etc.
Nice but why don't you start a figure from drawing the lines indicating gestures? In one of your videos you said that the best way to start drawing figures is to draw lines. You start here from the head like you knew already how the drawing is gonna be look like.
This video was completely focused on how to measure for accuracy. However, I was considering the gesture as I was drawing it.
When you reach a good level in drawing gestures you can skip drawing the lines as you have them in your head
I wish proko ws my artb teacher in school so that I wouldn't be 22 and learning all these basics now T-T
Hard to imagine it takes how much time and countless times of exercise to be able draw a gesture whatever you want.The process is so... frustrating.
feels like I am not even improving😭
I was wondering whether or not if you personally at this point in figure drawing, take note of the landmarks even though you don't block them in to find the center line or or line of action?
i really need those rferences from the girl in the tattoo, already have chanon, she really knows how to pose-
Yup I know :) And honestly I admire your skills. May I ask what's the fastest pase for your gesture sketches? I always wanted to get below 1 minute but even 45 seconds are a bit too short for me to get things done.
Are there any benefits to holding the pen that way? Very nice sketches btw. :)
Damn i wish i could have a model like her at my art school...
Master
I started practicing doing these just yesterday and I'm having a little trouble trying to understand how you 'draw how you feel' because I always just end up drawing the contours and the outline of the figure instead. Honestly, I'm a bit frustrated but imma keep trying until I get it.
Everytime u see a contour more complicated than CSI, u straight up ignored the parts that aren't as curve as the others so u simplified it and it becomes more about the gesture rather than the contour
I'm still having problems with looking for contours. Any advice for thinking more about motion? I can't seem to figure it out.
what should I really focus on in a 2 min gesture? simple shape?
OK I have two questions regarding translation of 'those important' points/measurements/ratios on your paper... 1) At 0:29; What have you been looking for (which body part on the model)... 2) Does it always differ, or do you always look for, more or less, the same parts (do you have a 'routine' for this?) Did you estimated the 'number of heads' (and or considered 'head height') to position those strokes and or.. umm do you call them landmarks?
I really would love to know have these kind of basics of construction (when drawing from life, or a photo).... any suggestions on a tutorial or a class?
give me an idea about types of pencils which is used by an artist like u plzz
So the drawing isn't censored but the photo is? Please explain.
Human and Proud Ask google lol
he probably didn't want to censor it but if he didn't censor the photo then his video would be flagged and less people would be able to watch the video.
Wru Censorship in the nutshell.

Welp, good for me because if it wasn’t censored, my parents would disown me, lmao
