How to Draw: 30 Second Gestures (Patreon)

A whole gesture drawing? 

In only 30 seconds?

Are you mad?

Maybe! 

Have you experienced the 30 second gesture drawing in your local life drawing classes/online classes? 

They are a wonderful way to begin a gesture drawing session, and it was always one of my favourite things to do with new students to freak them out. 

"30 seconds?! I can barely draw 2 lines in 30 seconds!"

So what is the point of a 30 second gesture? How can it be beneficial to our gesture practise?

In this video I highlight 8 Top Tips for better 30 second gestures, which will ultimately lead to improved gestures of longer lengths.
