I think it's paramount to understand that though exaggerating lines tell a more exciting story in gesture drawing, you still need to build everything on a sound structure. I still rely on underdrawings like the circles I used for her pelvis or that box I used for her knee. I could have pushed the overall gesture line more for more drama.

The exercise was first shown me by DreamWorks storyboard artist, Glen @thegr8ful_dad 🤘🏼 Try drawing your gestures using only straight lines. It'll mess your world up in a wonderful way! #gestures #gesturedrawing #sketch #sketchbook #art #artistsoninstagram #artistsofinstagram #dreamworks #artisticdevelopment (at West Hollywood, California)

Gesture drawing. It doesn't require the same articulation of figure drawing because it's more concerned with "feel" and storytelling. This is my 1 minute example of gesture drawing. #gestures #gesturedrawing #drawing #sketch #sketchbook #art #artistsoninstagram #artists #artistic #artistlife (at West Hollywood, California)

I interpret "drawing" as a near formula of conveying mood and energy into lines and shapes. Gesture drawing is a FANTASTIC way of understanding this odd concept. #gesturedrawing #sketch #sketchbook #gestures #gestureposes #art #drawing #doodle #draw #drawings (at West Hollywood, California)

I love traditional art, but I also LOVE exploring and pushing boundaries with digital projects like the commissioned art installation housed at Moods of Norway, Los Angeles. How easy it is to be enamored with the King and Queen of Norway! I am a HERCULEAN fan of the clothing and culture at Moods of Norway. The menswear and womenswear are pretty hip. #norway #moodsofnorway #photoshop #photoshopfun #art #artistsoninstagram #digitalart #installation #installationart #fashion (at Moods of Norway)

Experimenting with digital mixed media techniques and my Kitchen Counter Drawing of @dakmagicg 🤔 #art #mixedmedia #digitalmixedmedia #kitchencounterdrawings #portrait

Portrait drawing is an excellent practice for observation and detail. This is my friend, @yodalovejones from a series I called #kitchencounterdrawings 🤓 #portrait #portraitdrawing #sketch #sketchbook #art (at West Hollywood, California)

We can either suffer frustration or we can channel our energy into being proactive in life. Choosing the latter seems more productive. Job hunting while painting the Kalbfleisch children. #art #painting #acryliconcanvas #inspiration #perseverance #jobhunting @kaykalbfleisch @donnakalbfleisch @kirkkalbfleisch (at West Hollywood, California)
