Does Michael Hampton ever actually break down his process for gesture drawing? This is the closest I can find in the beginning chapters of his book.
I'm trying to learn his method of doing it, and while the book is great so far, I feel like I'm just reading tips on figure drawing and examples of what to do, but not shown how.
I just wanna produce good gestures.

Gestures are a means to an end. Understand the principles behind them, don't try to copy one artist's particular gesture drawing style.

Did you read the text around it? He explains it pretty well. As an artist, you should be thinking in more abstract terms than just step one, step two, step three.
He uses the concept of rhythm and the ability of line to guide the eye to describe the action of the figure from head to toe, literally.
Supply it with Vilppu vids (Hampton is his student). He tells you to use lines going through, over or around the forms to describe what the figure is doing.
It would've been better if you just posted your own work tho.

Post your gesture.
Read the text, you fucking retard.
Michael Hampton is garbage. It's funny how much you guys struggle to understand these concepts while I barely practice and i'm still eons ahead of you chumps.
