Hey All,

I often get asked what brush I use so thought I would put this here. I use the most basic of photoshop stock brushes so there's really nothing at all special about them. I've also put the minimal brush settings underneath.

Hope those of you interested find this to be helpful!

Hey Everyone,

My 5 week flash course on gesture drawing starts in a couple weeks at brainstorm.
This workshop lays out the principles of gesture drawing while surveying a number of unique approaches. My focus throughout is on helping students identify a style/workflow suited to their individual practice while demystifying an otherwise difficult stage in the drawing process.
If you've ever struggled with gesture and would like to join I've included the sign up link below
