After trying out different materials, I find that I'm always coming back to your explanations for gestures (and other things) because it is very versatile in doing different situations/poses. Also your book is like a condensed version of every fundamental lesson one needs to master which is why it is (for me) the best out there. Having said that we must carefully go over each topic and pause and think about it because its important/valuable as there are no fillers/nonsense in each chapter. Which is why I appreciate how you further explain it and even show us the process in your channel. Thank you so much!

I find your breakdown of the gesture REALLY clear. I tried to understand it through a lot of other books and resources, but yours really helps me see how it's an integral part of figure drawing. Also don't worry about making too many lists. If people don't like them, they can ignore them, but they are quite useful to others, such as me ;) I hope you keep sharing your knowledge and make a lot more of these videos

This is an excellent explanation of the why and how of gesture drawings. I just bought your book, "Figure Drawing: Design and Invention" for use with my art students and myself, and I was hoping to find accompanying videos. I've read through about half of the book. Explanations are wonderfully clear, the color choices and design and printing and paper are just beautiful. I feel that the anatomy is well-simplified to prevent overwhelm. The sequence from gesture forward is also very effective. I look forward to more videos!

I found your KZitem channel when I started working through your figure drawing book a few days ago. Your instruction is amazing in both formats. I started drawing about a year ago and have struggled with the figure. I find a disconnect between what a lot of instructors teach and what the demonstrate. I wonder if their teaching simply becomes vague because they have to steer students away from the contours and they overcorrect. Regardless, your teaching is one of a kind. Thanks, man.

Every page pushes me to work further on my fundamentals and then apply them. Currently at page 60 or so, so still a long way to go😅. For me this book seems to be the best thing ever for me at the moment, as i am way more confident with my drawing skills then ever before. Really looking forward for more videos as well as the rest of the book💪😍 (Pardon my weird spelling as i am not a „native english speaker“ and i just dont care tbh) Thanks for mentioning so many books in this video. I wanted to ask what where the most helpful resources for you? Theres so much online and in the librarys its just overwhelming My „goal“ is to be able to draw from my head (similar to kim jung gi 😅) and integrate that into stories for comics and storyboards. Sorry for this long text, thousand thanks if you read it and i think my mind will explode if you answer🤯😅 Also i would be really interested about your learning process and how you „evolved over time“ as an artist.

I'm late to the party, but I just got your book on figure drawing to see if I can apply it to 2D animation. I got a bunch of key frame animation books and realized I need to learn how to draw those pesky people lol. My career fell apart after moving to Japan and left me with little to look forward to professionally. I found my way back to art and into animation of all things. I suck at it, but it's really fulfilling and your book and especially these videos are helping me make sense of the chaos. Cheers to finding meaning in things that are enjoyable, but may not make money or change the world. Things don't always work out and it's important to learn that that's actually ok and oftentimes the most probable outcome. Our reaction makes it a gift or a curse.

I'm a little confused about the "stretch" part of your gesture process. Is this the front centerline of the abdomen that exists in 3D space? Or is it more of a 2D/graphical representation of the "stretching" part of the abdomen, whether that be the front side, back, or wherever happens to be stretching visually? If "stretch" occurs in the same spot as the spine, say in a hunched figure, would stretch and spine be almost the same lines?
