    I had a rest from drawing over the weekend, nothing was going to deter my partner from having the dining chairs recovered, a very satisfying job as it happens ;)

    This is figuary 16 with some really good but challenging poses. One of the videos suggests that short gestures aren’t about getting the body shape correct but more about the pose. Looking at some of the shapes I’ve produced, its just as well ;)

    I’ve swapped to conte medicis sticks :)

    This is the 5 minute. I confess I spent another 30 seconds defining a couple of lines

        I really like that last one … My thoughts would be to look at the anatomy as a hole when breaking it down as eventually you want to get those gesture drawings saying much more with feet and hands and of course heads😉….believe me I use to know how hard it was to draw say a hole figure gesture in say 2 min but learning the anatomy for me from some amazing artists was the key to understanding what it was I wanted to say in those two mins and how much ;)

        Thanks for your comment lovinart. I’m afraid I’m at my limit on very short poses at the moment, I need a robotic arm and a new brain :)

                Nice work. These seem to have renewed energy and vigour. Upholstering chairs is clearly therapeutic……

                C&C always welcome.

                Thanks Harry, I’m feeling that right now, maybe its because spring is almost here, I’m coming out of hibernation :)

                    I think that’s a good suggestion as the natural tendency seems to be to try and get the details right!

                    and a nice 5 minutes (&30)
