I was a drawing machine yesterday. Once I got started, I kept going. But I'll only post my best pictures. So here's my thing... I have issues drawing just sketches. I like detail. I like things to be as close to the original as possible. In short, I can't do abstract. I didn't practice any abstract-ness, but I did try out some gesture drawing.
Gesture drawings are done quickly. They imply movement and features with just a few lines. I don't know how much I accomplished as far
as that goes. I found that I had to shade things. So I may have mixed gesture with some crosshatching... but meh. I do what I want.

hand seemed to move on its own; it was pretty cool. My favorite is the guy with a cigarette. Smoking is bad kids... but this guy looks cool doing it anyway.
