this series is such a godsend. i've been drawing on and off for the past 15 years and i never understood how to actually mentally approach gestures and this has taught me more than anyone's advice irl.
Thank you for the encouragement you always give so generously compared to other teachers. A great teacher is someone who has struggled themselves to get to where they are. I think some teachers had so much talent to begin with (either born with it or started drawing at age 2) that they don't know what it is like psychologically to walk into a life drawing class and feel overwhelmed by everyone in the room. You may understand the concept, but the hand just doesn't do what the brain wants for awhile. That is the frustrating part. I have always been a really good student, but this is a different kind of learning. Thank god I am older so I am more comfortable being in the uncomfortable zone. I have no one to impress in my age zone. In fact, I am lucky to be still standing.
this is great! thanks for clarifying all this. I feel as though for most people it’s easier to have more concrete instructions before trying to do things more intuitively by “feeing the flow” and whatnot
Best figure drawing instructor on TH-cam. Not even close. Clear and concise videos that break down nuanced topics into manageable challenges. Keep up the great work! ^_^
@@madmaster3d I think this series is better than Proko's only because Proko tells you what to do, but not why. This video series breaks down the purpose of gestures in more detail. Proko's video is still very well made though and I definitely recommend everyone to watch it as well.
@@Naescent as a noob i pref proko videoes i saw alot video on youtube from too many artists but proko videos are noob frindly & very technical professinal if i had money i get their lessons
I keep practicing hard I'm happy cause I have seen my inpruvin my probem is the hands they're so hard specialy that you don't get results it needs a lot work thank you x sharing your knowlage Gracias
Omg 😱 I flew over here so fast when I got this notification oh my God it’s been a minute since I’ve been on your channel and I subscribed like two years ago congrats on all your success I really learned a lot from you guys thank you 💖💖💖🌸
I watched to about 9mins and thought "That's too complex and not concrete enough information to understand in 12 mins." Then he explained the part about how it's like riding a bike. Pedals, breaks, steering, watching the road. - As always great symbology to reference the learning process!
Thank you! I used to do the dots and stuff but it always felt off. I'm getting a bit lazy with them in terms of light and shade recently though i think. need to up my game!
This is the best gesture drawing tutorial i've ever seen! I'm watching some new masters academy and this is SO much clearer than most of the videos there!
Another great, informative video. Thanks Kenzo for continuing to post these and send the emails to Love Life Drawing participants. It really helps to be reminded of the principles and I had forgotten the CSI mantra!!
I do find that gesture is hard and i skipped learning it especially after getting used to construction and perspective ! I thought I'm breaking what I've already gotten but not now ! Thanks so much ♥️
Amazing video. This series definitely clarifies what "gesture drawing" really is since it's a very BROAD subject with different takes and meanings. I would also recommend anyone reading this to read "Figure Drawing: Design and Invention" by Michael Hampton which also goes in depth about gesture drawings. My favorite art textbook!
What a great video. I love how you visualize what it means to draw connections between body parts and how to not push it too far. What an excellent resource!
thanks for explaining the concave, convex thing. My art teacher was mentioning these words, and I was so confused because I didn't have a demonstration of what it meant.

I finally found the best explanation of gesture drawing principles. Thank you so much 😊

Bit random, but I love the censor-kini you painted put on. The random dots and bars people put always felt off for some reason.
Thank you! I used to do the dots and stuff but it always felt off. I'm getting a bit lazy with them in terms of light and shade recently though i think. need to up my game!
