Today I'll share with you what is probably my number one sketching exercise for hugely improving your results.
You'll learn about gesture drawing and how to draw gestures. This exercise has served me well for over a decade now. It'll help anyone to learn to draw better, whether for the purpose of a finished sketch, a painting or anything in between.
I'll also share some more general drawing tips for capturing the proportions, angles and shapes accurately.
Enjoy!
Chapters:
00:00 - Gesture Drawing & Why it WORKS
00:55 - Demo 1
07:26 - Demo 2
14:50 - Writing Analogy

My name is Liron, and I’m an artist, author and creator.
My biggest passion is painting & sharing my artistic journey with others. For this reason, over the past decade or so, I have amassed a significant following of close to 500K people on the different media channels, such as YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and my own mailing lists.
I have sold hundreds of paintings, taught thousands of students and have been published in multiple magazines.
It is safe to say watercolor chose me, and not the other way around. My painting philosophy is quite simple. Most of the time I follow my intuition.
