Today’s Doodle: Dinosaur gestures (compilation)
My favorite kind of art to do is “gesture drawing”. These are quick drawings, taking anywhere from 30 seconds to 3 minutes, trying to capture the essence of a pose. These drawings tend to be simple but full of energy and life. I do it every day to warm up, and try to carry some of that same energy into my finished drawings. Usually gesture drawing is done with the human figure, but I find that paired with “book” study of any form, human or animal, doing lots of gestures is a great way to get an intuitive sense of their anatomy.

Thumbnailing for a sketch of Viavenator exonni, a new abelisaurid theropod from Argentina. I've grown more and more fond of these weirdos lately ... abelisaurs are kind of adorkable :)
