Continuation of Gesture Figure Drawing

After last weeks critique I have decided to continue to gesture draw the figure because I feel that the drawings could be pushed more and I want to finish working life size. This time I want to start from the inside of the figure and work out. I think looking at some gesture drawings of the figure will also help. Im thinking of also maybe varying the thickness of the lines and hopefully that will show more movement and weight. Lastly shortening the time to 30 seconds or less so it will force me not to get stuck in doing contour lines.

I plan on another fifth teen gesture figure drawings on newsprint paper just to get warmed up and back into the swing of things. Then move on to color paper with ink and cante crayons. I have scraps of canvases and Im thinking of also trying that with ink. Then Lastly I want to work life size with using ink and a sponge and then changing it up and switching to house paint.
