Gesture and Process

Check out my course on Proko! proko.com/course/introduction-to-figure-construction/?af=543975

Started drawing two years ago and I still watch your gesture videos, probably the most invaluable resource I have. You're literally the one I look up to the most. Thank you!

By far you’re the most helpful and easy to follow teacher

Dear Micheal , I'm still reading your book since i bought it many years ago and find new aspects and understand your point of view in gesture drawing. Not to mention that your book and your method in this regard helped me a lot and it improved my ability and confidence to draw much better figures whether it's from the real life or from imagination. Well done master.

I started to watch you a week ago with your ''Gesture Lecture'' video and it opened my eyes and now i feel like im starting to improve and understand the things more

Omg😅 Cant believe my mentor has free videos online🙏🙏 Thank you so much Sir🙏🙏

Thank you for this very informative video. I have your figure drawing book. As you say in the book, drawing the figure begins with the gesture. I have been having some difficulty with the gesture, and this video has provided multiple answers for questions that I have had with the gesture. Well done!

Your tutorial has been incredibly helpful in improving my skills as an artist, and I have already seen a significant improvement in my work. Your clear and concise instructions have made the learning process easy and enjoyable.
you are the best anatomy teacher :)♥

I spent my holidays to read your book and kept drawing almost everyday . I 'm so glad that i still can learn many things from your channel🎉🎉🎉

Thank you for publishing these on youtube!

This was an amazingly helpful and clear video, thank you!

Hi Mr. Michael Hampton i'm learning a lot from you i watch your videos and learn from your books thank you for your uploaded new video, i'm looking forward for your new content soon

Just got your book on Amazon. Very helpful stuff for a beginner

Around 5 minutes he says that in gesture drawing "what matters most is what you want to say with the drawing about the subject and this is just a simple way to play with that" I think this is very important, it's the essence of what gesture drawing is. I just want to add on and say that when you're gesture drawing, it's also a good time to push your "style" because gesture drawing is about putting down what you think is important in a figure. Highly recommend to watch this for gesture drawing. ruclips.net/video/kgP_SwxTE2w/видео.htmlsi=OkBuscQmHoZcyCsJ

when you foreshortened the left leg it was like magic

Thank you. Seriously. Thank you.

Good job, master hampton.

Mr. Hampton, out of curiosity is there a chance you upload a video of your process on traditional? I've seen some of your sketches on prismacolor and I'd like to see more on how you'll approach a drawing if instead of using layers you're trying to draw lighter at first, using an eraser to erase the guidelines once the structure is defined or how's the refining in traditional. Also some tips on holding the pencil depending the direction of the stroke you're trying to do, is there a difference on the way to hold a stylus with the way you'll hold a prismacolor?

Something that i see from your multiple examples in gesture is that you generally don't draw frontal poses, is there a reason to it?
do you consider them not interesting or hard to convey movement or asymmetry? Do you recommend doing gestures from frontal poses?

Wonderful lesson. I also enjoy learning from your book

An amazing lesson!

Do you have any shorthands for double checking if a boxy volume/plane orientation is "correct" in perspective? I've found constructing boxes via ellipses to be applicable but sometimes that process detracts from the original statement of the gesture.
Thanks again for all the fantastic content!

Hello Mr Hampton!
Your videos are amazing, these seems part from a bigger course, is that available? Or it’s just extracts/examples from your book?
Thank you for sharing all your knowledge, is really helpful! 🎉

Thank you, good sir!

Did Hampton came up with gesture drawing?

Why there's no sound on your latest video?

GOOD

Can your methods be used to draw comic books?

imagine the bible performed as a live-reading by jesus.
this video is what it's kindda like for me, having copied The Book many times, and Hevangelized buncha my friends to Hamptonianity over the years.
