如果 30 秒不够怎么办?

重新考虑“足够”的含义。许多艺术家都陷入这样的想法,他们需要在每 30 秒的时间窗口内创作一幅“草图”,如果在你的脑海中“草图”实际上是用铅笔绘制的半完整图片,那么这将成为一个不可能的目标。

放松;你做得很好。几乎没有人能真正在 30 秒内完成一幅“完整”的绘图。这实际上就是重点——给自己这么短的时间,你就被迫对优先事项做出残酷的决定,并坚持下去。它要求你要防止自己陷入看图像时突然出现的“有趣”或“好玩”的细节中,而要尽快吸收和捕捉整个人物的方向和能量。

如果您在 30 秒内得到的只是一条定义能量流/姿势重量的线,那就成功了。如果你得到一些“气泡”来定义臀部和躯干相互关系的位置,那就完美了。您正在像大师一样进行手势绘画。

在开始手势绘画练习之前,请深呼吸。提醒自己:你不需要在这 30 秒结束时拥有其他人可以识别的东西。你确实需要尝试对你在该姿势中看到的整体做出明确的决定,并在你的纸上做一个或多个标记来记录该决定。这些不是你要挂在墙上的图画,这些是你在尝试那些较长姿势之前“热身”并让自己处于正确心态的感知练习。

对于新艺术家来说,没有比陷入“细节”陷阱更常见的错误了,立即跳到“有趣”或“有趣”的地方,或者他们认为会让自己在别人眼中“更好”的地方,潜入阴影或花费数分钟或数小时精心渲染一组特别漂亮的眼睛或手,结果在完成后发现美丽的细节与身体的其他部分不成比例,或者以奇怪的角度破坏了姿势的流动,或者由于看到各个部分而不是整个身体的流动而产生的一百个其他错误。

需要有更经验丰富的眼睛才能抵制细节工作,而是从更笼统的内容开始。手势绘画练习可以帮助你实现这一目标。在我们工具的课堂模式下,作为热身的 30 秒和 1 秒系列姿势,无论您选择多长时间的课程,都可以帮助您用同一只眼睛处理那些较长的姿势,以便首先看到整体,以便将细节放在更大的线条和流程中。

如果您担心 30 秒的画看起来不像任何东西,我的建议是:别担心。开始画一条线来捕捉脊柱的方向。如果你有时间,可以泡泡臀部、胸腔和头部的位置/角度。如果你有更多时间,可以添加一些手臂和腿部的线条。没有时间?没问题。你学到的东西比你意识到的要多。

This is great advice. For a long time I've been worrying about not being able to have recognizable figure in 30 seconds. But now I realize its more about your perception of the figure and your decision making process than having something pretty.

The 30 second poses are always super helpful to "loosen up" like you've stated. I find, to my sheer joy, that these short scribbles help me to complete the longer poses faster, which gives me time to get to all the fine details. I use to worry, thinking I was too slow, but have come to realized it's better to just do and let instinct take over. Thanks for the article!

Thank you so much for the article :)
I just started my journey on gesture drawing (3 days ago), with the class mode. Of course I wasn't expecting results on this little time, but nevertheless I was getting frustrated with the 30 seconds poses.
I'll try to relax and just enjoy the journey. Let's see if there is some improvement after a couple of months!
Best wishes!

wow, i wasnt thinking about it that way, thanks, that's a great advice

I asked this question at the end of a tutorial...I should have looked here first. I was concerned that I wasn't getting much down in the 30 seconds...it always ends with me trying to decide where the dots go, but I understand the pint of it better now. Thanks so much! What a great site!!

Muchas gracias por el articulo estoy muy contento con el sitio, si es un poco difícil, pero disfruto el echo de hacer trazos libres y rápidos y lograr un boceto en corto tiempo.

Thank you

I tend to linger 'cause I feel that the drawing is not completed it is missing something.

Thank you for your input

Noticing that gestures were available as an option, and the premade "class"es was interested me so much about this site. I discovered the power of gesture drawing years ago and it's been priceless to re-programming the way I approach the figure. The results i my lines flow better and it's easier to *feel* the post of the character. Great site and wonderful article. Thank you.

Great advice, gave me a new perspective, one thing tho, What should i be capturing in this 30 seconds? the line that goes thru the center of the pose? or maybe the edge that defines the dominant side? thanks in advance!
Sanne - 网站版主
The 30 second gestures are supposed to capture the bare minimum lines to define the figure. That can look like this:

Even though this doesn't really look like a person, I spent 30 seconds capturing the most obvious motion lines of the body; at a first glance, it's not too hard to recognize this is a person with an arched back holding up their arms in a dance gesture. Being able to capture a pose and motion in just a few lines is the main goal of 30 seconds.

A lot of the time, these 30 second gestures don't look like much and that's okay. They should warm you up and train your brain, not be totally detailed figures. :)

They do look beautiful to me, gesture drawings have me hooked, i had never before been able to appreciate simplicity in drawing, and practicing gesture drawing really changed the way i look at things, thanks for the reply and advice, i am experiencing a problem tho, following this advice:
from Luis Escobar (another great online teacher) he mentioned to not approach gesture drawing with stick figures, he does the drawing in like 15 minutes tho and he is also a much more seasoned artist than me, the thing is when i follow his advice my "final artwork" ends up looking much better to my liking, i've been trying to fuse the method he presents with all the information i found on this site to get some speed into my process, i am not making any progress in this tho, the step to go from stick figures to a more meaty drawing pretty much kills all what i like about my drawings, i'm going to buy a camera and post some pictures for people to critique and i hope that will shed some light. Again, thanks for the reply and all this free resources you guys have! greetings from Mexico! :]

I didn't know about these videos! I just watched a few minutes and it already seems very helpful. I'll definitely watch more of Luis's stuff. Thank you!

I'm familiar with gesture drawing from years back. Still, it took a few days to get back into the "swing" of doing them. After that, I remembered why they're so important. Gesture drawing trains your eye to see the object all at once , and are really what set set up the conditions for more developed, good drawing.

I feel like this ended up being really helpful because I always feel as if I spend too much time on a sketch and end up going too much into detail that when I end up doing the actual piece it doesn't turn out as good as i had wished
Chronorust
These are the exact words I wish I heard years back. Getting back in the game and I'm already doing much better by not worrying. Thanks for the speech!

Thank you for posting this, it was a maj boost of encouragement which I feel I always need and don't get all the time when I'm drawing or practicing. I'm always constantly bringing myself down and ik my diagnoses of mental health make it worse, but it comes horribly into play as a self-taught artists with only a couple of HS classes of that type of professional teaching.. The rest I've learned myself through reading a bunch of books by other artists and online teachers, and. youtube vids. I found this sight ]through a research period of how to draw gestures, and exercises for improvement on figure drawing and I've come back to this site over & over again and it's a wonderful reference. Loved reading this article!! Mindfulness in painting, drawing and art is always important!! ❤️❤️

I really needed this article! I've been trying to practice drawing realistic heads, and I couldn't get any details like the eyes, nose, mouth etc. down. I thought that it was way too quick, but now I understand that that is the point. For the first time today, I finish the 30 min class mode, and It was the first time in a while that I had fun while drawing. It was so nice and refreshing, and it really was fun! This site has helped me so much recently, even if I just got started, I feel myself improving so much! Thank you for this article, and thank you for creating such a great community! I hope to have many more practice sessions using this site!

Thanks for the helpful advice! I have been skipping the 30 second poses thinking I am just a slow drawer and that is okay. This article reminded me of the purpose and importance of the 30 second pose.

I've always struggled to understand what the point of 30 sec poses was. I watched a lot of videos but only this post cleared everything up for me!

Yep
I trying to just to that.
Thanks

I joined the site recently and am working to improve my drawing skills. I find this approach very healthy, organic, mindful and realistic about how to improve the perception of the art creator. I enjoy this web site very much and have been very dedicated to my practice and building up art muscles through on line courses geared toward manga, perspective, and fundamentals. There are many resources and I am integrating these in a gradual manner strengthen my skills. My goal is to produce a manga book with my character and original stories. It has been about a month and a half and I'd say that although I have art knowledge my skills are practically non existent. My point is that I am seeing small measurable victories as I go on this journey to create my manga book. Still very early in the process the character is in beginning stages of development. I would never have thought that I could get this far about 2 months ago, however, with my drive, persistence, and all the available resources and my progress to date - I know that I will do this project, do it well and feel good about it! I want to say thank you for having the site, Line of Action with all of these great resources, ways to inspire artists like me (daily tracking journal, the gesture drawing practice and commitment to draw regularly, the resource of poses and book selections that are valuable references. So Thank You! I will continue to appreciate the site and recommend to those who have an art / drawing interest.

Awesome possum! In deed as a begginer this is so truuue.

Thks a million

Very convincing. Good explanation!
My personal challenge is, to follows this recommendation in my sketching Work without getting in the fun/Details Trap.
Thanks a lot for the advice.

Speaking for my self, it's fear that holds me back mostly! I'm on a course to send him away if possible.

I wish I knew this when I did a life drawing class. The teacher started with 2 minute then 5, etc, but never taught us gesture drawing!! The instruction was to draw as much as possible in the time.
Ben (unregistered visitor)
I had trouble with the first few in 30 secs because I tried to draw outlines, there is not enough time. It works if you draw them like an artists mannequin. The first thing I do is put a circle for the head, then the rough torso shape. Ellipses for limbs, circles for kneecaps, deltoids and elbows. Finally feet, rough size and direction.

If I have a few seconds left at the end I will indicate eye and nose position. I am happy if I can recognise which of the photos it was when I review the next day. The ones the give me most difficulty are pictures with sheets, or partly removed clothing. They can be hard to read.
