When you are sketching gesture drawings there is no time to make  aware decisions. The gesture drawing must be done in about a minute or two and during that time you only have one or two glances at the "model". So don't think while you are drawing. Just draw it, and afterwards get your time to analyze the gesture drawing.

Horizontal lines are very important for the image processor in our brain. When a viewer looks at the gesture drawing the horizontal lines must curve in a consistent way. Otherwise the gesture drawing will be regarded as bad or even incomprehensible.

In this gesture drawing my eye level is at the model's shoulder, where a horizontal line will be just a straight line, and above her shoulder horizontal lines are curved upwards and below her shoulder they are curved downwards.

Always take your time to analyze your gesture drawing when it is ready. If you do that, you will unconsciously correct such errors in your next gesture drawing.

And that is what gesture drawing is about. Exercise where you learn from your mistakes and always make better and better gesture drawings.

Now I'm late again


I'm done, time for a break and rest


A magnificent woman


Take a big breath and then ...


My fashion sketches made a success


I have to trot to keep warm


Today I can hardly wait until I get to work


The teacher claps her hands to gather the children


I'll make it in time..


She looks like a wise old lady


A quick walk to the toilet


I think he is some sort of celebrity


Oh, I forgot my purse at work


A quiet walk home



A lot of hair blowing in the wind


That was really a funny movie


Scarf ending with two balls


A majestic posture


Don't put anything down, it might get stolen or forgotten


Many things went bad...
