Drawing shapes is easy, but making them dynamic…that’s another story. In this lesson, I demonstrate my process for identifying the gesture of your subject and then designing dynamic and interesting shapes to support that gesture.

"Focus on the gesture not the outlines" one minute in and I know now why my poses are stiff. Your videos are really helpful and easily understood

I'm very mad at you Proko. I have gone from wanting to be a concept artist, to wanting to be a seal artist

Honestly one of the biggest parts of good gesture drawing feels like the mileage. I've been doing 100 days of timed gesture drawing practice, and on day 50 it's getting very easy to see where the shapes, alignments, and rhythms are.

I totally didn't expect that seals would improve my gesture drawing. I was mistaken.

as a beginner who has just started drawing recently, gestures affect the result a lot, especially when you try to break an object into simple shapes and fail to organize them based on perspective and break the flow, the outcome is weird, although sometimes it's hard to think about what shape you should break the part into... so art is not just practice but also the long-term of studying about a lot of things....Btw, thanks for sharing <3, I hope to watch more tutorials from you

this video helped me with every problem i had with gesture for some reasons. details, for starters i always had a problem knowing what details to add or not to add, i add too much its a mess, if i add too little what i drew made no sense, but thanks to this video i now know to try and look for important details only. accuracy, I've always tried to stick to the image as exact as possible, but now i realized that with gesture you can slightly adjust the shape into something that looks more appealing and interesting. depth, i never knew how to create depth in a gesture drawing, turns out the answer is just creases. Thank you for making gesture fun for me stan. -banana

9:40 And without even trying Stan creates both a sense of depth (which he explains) and a core of shape design in making three distinguishable big, medium and small shapes (which he doesn't go into): Look into the 'triangles' formed by the 'creases'

This video is a god send. I love seals (it’s pretty obvious) and I’ve been meaning to learn and practice for my art— specifically gestures and such because I tend to be very rigid with it and it’s so time consuming whenever I draw bodies and poses @_@ I just want to say thank you so much for this video!! And for your existence!! You’re tremendously helpful to everyone here!!

How has NO ONE made a full series of JUST seals? I feel like this can save people years on anatomy!
