Quick Pose Gesture Sketching (CtrlPaint.com)

- Capturing human anatomy is a lifelong pursuit. A great first step in that journey, as well as a fun daily warm-up, is gesture sketching. There are many different approaches to quick-pose sketching, and this video explains a 'constructive anatomy' technique. Based largely on the methods of Andrew Loomis, this technique combines observational sketching with memorized anatomy to capture poses in less than one minute.
To give this exercise a try, grab your sketchbook and open up www.posemaniacs.com. Though the default time interval is 30 seconds, I'd recommend selecting 60 seconds. Remember: the goal is learning, not creating beautiful drawings. Good luck!

![Draw Gesture with O̲N̲E̲ shape: NEVER draw ArMs or LeGs- EVAR! [also never ever use bean shape]](/img/n.gif)
5 mins of this, is better than 1 hour in a art school
You had the all fucking reason.
Not really
And you also don’t waste 10k!
@@thepurpleman119 so show us ur fkn progress after 1 year of watching this video. Words speak louder than actions o you orr the opposite ?
SO HELPFUL! It’s amazing how complicated some people make drawing out to be. This just goes to show how you can always simplify things!
When it comes to quick poses, this is probably the best video on the subject, because it gives a good beginner level place to start from.
This is really the video that finally helped me make good gesture drawings, every other video was too unspecific and just made me more confused, but this video finally allowed me to make more dynamic looking poses
Thank you so much
as someone who's been doing this for a couple of months, i can assure you that everything he said is true, this's legitimately the best way of learning anatomy (to me at least) i'm surprised how well it actually works
Thanks a lot for this video. I've watched a dozen or more gesture videos on youtube, but every single one of them did gesture in a different way. They all emphasize that simplicity is needed and not to focus on building forms. But then all the videos have the artist building forms in one way or another. So when I went to do my drawings, I felt like I was failing because I would just stick to wire frame and avoid the forms. It's great to see that I was doing it correctly according to someones method.
WOW thank you so much, just after following along to this video even once did i feel an improvement in my art. you are amazing!
OH MY GOD! This is the most HELPFUL video ever. I've been able to draw a lot better, thank you so much whoever made this video!!!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge in this SUPER helpful and concise video ❤.
Thank you, banged my head against my keyboard following countless methods.
I have Andrew Loomis's book on figure drawing, but it's more complex than what you've shown here; I supposed I should just focus on the stick figure and then build myself up a bit.
A nice short informative video.This is what i like to see
This made my brain shift and suddenly I get it now. After struggling for so long with stiff and scribbly figures I finally get it.
Awesome video and useful pieces of information. Thanks for your work! :)
Thank you this has been really helpful! Exactly what I was looking for!
that drawing in the bottom left hand corner at the start of the video tho
they kinda thicc doe
groovin
well done...thank you
Thank you so much...❤️ This will help me 👍🏻
Thank you for this video it was amazing
I learned a lot from you ✌️
Thanks this was helpful!
Great channel, looking forward to getting further into your vidos.
Thank you.
helped me alot thanks never got a more informative video. Dont reply with people to help me please
very good
Thanks for this. I think I'll get back into bean drawing again after I finish with my portrait studies.
thank u sir
Fantástico y genial👽
Being looking for good info on doing gesture drawing and found nothing useful. This however explains everything I was looking for 👌 thank you.
Thanks
Crack! Very usefull Matt!!
how do you improve at proportions and gesture at the same time? proportions have been my biggest problem all my life.
I'm personally not sure how that would work, but I'd recommend getting a firm grip on proportions first, and then try to translate that to your gesture drawings
PeeyanoKeys study the major muscles
If you memorize and practice the human proportions and train your eye with measuring and drawing still lifes or busts you will do a lot better
I usually see each part of a limb such as the arm to be about the same length of the head. And from there the length of the arm would be the same size of the forearm. I assume the length of the legs are the same as the a whole arm.
I know this is an old comment but for me personally two things have helped - 1. studying basic concepts of anatomy - to see average proportions of human figure and draw it out multiple times (front and back), so my hand and eyes get used to seeing what should "feel right" and then 2. practicing gesture drawing by redrawing the same pose multiple times. Say you try a 30-second pose. You time it every time, pause and look at the result, evaluate what's wrong - do it again. And again. And again, till it feels right and your hand has grasped the rhythm. Eventually the proportions you see and what you draw will line up... Through practice. But learning proportions first helps with the observation, your eye sees and dissects the pose faster once you get the hang of it.
I need this for my school
This technique is so good fun and helpful.
Plus I like stick figures a lot
Man if all youtube tutorials were as simple to follow and do like this I would be more talented then the unpaid artists that draw anime
Thanks , very helpful. BTW you sound like Rob Lowe
No desenho gestual não se deve demorar mais que um minuto pra faser a pose,isso ajuda na percepção.
How do I know if the spine is curved differently or more straight than that?
What about foreshortened poses?
Not sure how much I can describe on here without a picture, but imagine a picture of a guy punching into the camera at a slight angle so you can still see most of his arm.
Make 3 (or more) landmarks starting with the largest one which in this case is the fist. You name that Point A (for clarity)
Then you find the 2nd largest one which would probably his shoulder, and block that out with a circle or w/e shape you want. Point B.
Lastly you find point C which is easily found between point and point B which is the elbow.
Finally you join them all up in a logical fashion.
It won't work on the first try, but trust me it works.
Ill try that thank you.
wow
where did you get images for the gesture
Posemaniacs
hello i need help i cant get access to the posing features in pose maniac it said installed adobe flash which is already installed and yet it won't let me access the poses what am i doing wrong

Posemainacs
App
Make it look so easy 😓
First a curve was backwards.
عالی
bad news
Flash player gone!
Can't view poses on website
i came here from ms. duncan
Gestures are JoJo references!!!!!! those poses.....
im still stuck on stickman mode
This is not gesture
Yes it is
You can delete my comment of course it doesn't change the fact that at no point in this video is gesture drawing discussed, change the title and take gesture out!
Big fan of your artistic gatekeeping, bro.
Misleading! Use the word illustration in your title. Make it clear you are not talking about life drawing. There may be something here that is helpful to commercial artists/illustrators in constructing bland, generic figures but at no point in this video does it discuss gesture drawing. The method depicted in this video is, in fact, antithetical to gesture drawing in nearly every way. Gesture drawing is spontaneous, intuitive, free, and especially dynamic! None of that is here. Indeed "method" is not a word that is very compatible with gesture. The video depicts an analytical, step by step process not an intuitive free, dynamic process. I noticed only one thing here that is helpful in understanding gesture, seeing through the form which is mentioned toward the end. Otherwise, you will never understand gesture drawing by watching this video. Putting it mildly, Nicolaides the original authority on gesture drawing would not approve this video. If you are actually interested in gesture the best way to learn it remains reading the sections about it in his book, "The Natural Way to Draw. I've taught drawing at the college level for 26 years. I've searched and searched for helpful videos on gesture to show my drawing students. I have found one and only one, czcams.com/video/_uQMsJqqXeo/video.html. Skip this video and watch that one if your interest is actually gesture drawing. Most of my time searching has been wasted on videos like this. Some means that would clearly distinguish the illustration videos from the fine art videos would certainly be helpful to me.
Imagine stating that someone's method of doing gesture drawing - a method that is inherently really up to interpretation, free, and open - is wrong and that your method that you like is the only right one lol
@@DigitalGamersX lmao ikr, but i think its a troll because he also commented this on the vid link he sent
@@lshwadchuck5643 I don't know what you're on about bud, this is a helpful framework for solving problems and figuring out the anatomy of a figure in a photo. Nobody said this was a replacement for "real" life drawing, whatever that is.
