Yoon's janky intro to gesture drawing

[yhlee]

Howdy! I'd posted this back at my DW and goss suggested I could share it here. I hope folks find it useful (or at least amusing).

I'm posting this not because I'm an expert (HA HA HA HA HA no) but because how to do a gesture drawing mystified me for years and I thought people might find a janky beginner guide of interest??

We're using this photo of a dancer from Pexels.

Hope this was useful, happy to answer questions if you're willing to wait as I'm often afk for health reasons.
