Creating gesture drawings will help improve your drawing skills in the following ways:
· It forces you to see the model and the model’s movement as a single image not one detail at a time.
· It helps you forget your childhood habit of outlining all the shapes in the drawing. Outlining can be slow, stiff and frustrating. Ignore the outlines, and make the shapes by “scribbling” them.
· It helps you begin the drawing process as you immediately put expressive marks on the paper.
