Happy New Year and welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday! In this video, we’re diving into gesture drawing—a fantastic way to practice drawing people by capturing their energy and movement. I'll show you how I practice using one- and two-minute poses from Ges Draw Party, an amazing YouTube resource for drawing practice. Gesture drawing is quick, loose, and all about the flow, not the details. It’s perfect for building confidence and improving your skills, whether you’re drawing in a café, doing urban sketching, or working at home. I'll share tips like: - Focus on movement, not perfection. - Use tools like water-soluble pencils for extra depth. - Give yourself space to make messy, lively drawings! Want more help drawing people?
