The easiest way to improve your GESTURE DRAWING is to change up your mark making. The way you draw is linked to the way you see, and if you want to be more dynamic and expressive, then drawing differently will go a long way to helping you make powerful gesture drawings.
In this video I show you a GESTURE DRAWING TECHNIQUE that will help you to improve your figure drawing. This one technique is called scribble drawing. It's a fun and easy way to draw the figure, even for beginners or for anyone who wants to experiment with a gesture style.
